Daring escapes and the challenges of teenage life abound in the third instalment of the illustrated island adventures of plucky twins Stig & Tilde.

Local tradition states that when a child turns 14, they have to survive all alone on an island for one year. Stig and Tilde have faced down dangers on two wrong islands so far.

In The Loser Squad, the twins finally arrive on the right island. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, all day barbecue – this must be heaven! But there’s trouble stirring, and maybe paradise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Can Stig and Tilde weather the storm one more time?
