In the very near future, on the tiny island of Lanai, teens from very different worlds must find a way to survive when all technology is destroyed.

Aided by a mysterious `aumakua dragon that may or may not be Bea's imaginary friend, the kids face fire, plane crashes, gangs, pit bulls, thieves, sharks, hunger, thirst and abuse in a coming-of-age that explores a post-technology world where only the strong and connected survive.

Reviews
DONT MISS FIRE ISLAND...
5By gschneid13I just finished Island Fire....unbelievable...I loved every moment of it. Don't let the targeted age group stop you from reading this book! I was imagining seeing this in theaters and casting parts in my head! What a great concept and i want my OWN `Aumakua! Without undue violence or harsh language, the story unfolds and is so believable that I felt like i was there with Bea, Sam, Nick and Jaden. Thank you Toby!!! And keep em coming...I cant lose those characters now!! I just fell in love with them!! And I am so totally taken with the notion of living in this new world, my mind is just racing with ideas of how different it could be and how different we would be. Dangers, love, family, fear, absolution, bravery, strength....i could go on and on about these wonderful characters you have woven together with this absolutely beautiful story.Island Fire Is A Winner
5By jerseygirlinjaxIf I did not know beforehand Island Fire was written with a YA reader in mind, I would have never guessed. The super talented Toby Neal has branched out of her normal genre and will captivate any audience with the storyline. Island Fire has it all with a comforting dragon, intrigue, islands cut off from each other and from civilization by an unexplained phenomenon with bizarre after effects, everything to keep you on the edge looking for what's next. Teenagers with survival skills learned at any early age from life on a remote island and a city boy plane crash survivor makes Island Fire a book you cannot put down.Great for Tweens, Teens and Adults!
5By BPontingIf you enjoyed the Hunger Games series you will love this fast-paced action story about survival when all technology is suddenly wiped away. Neal brings us fully fledged believable characters that you feel instantly drawn to. You will be screaming for a sequel the moment you finish!
