The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curacao. War has always been a game to him and he’s eager to witness it first hand – until the freighter he and his mother are travelling on to the USA is torpedoed. Philip wakes to find himself adrift on a small raft in the middle of the ocean with an old West Indian man. Together they become marooned on a tiny deserted island.
