Danny and his best friend, Joe, soon get permission to join them, and the four take off in the scientists' plane.

It was like being there!
Every chapter ended in suspense that we had to keep turning pages! The book was written so well it was like we experienced the same things as the characters.
Fun read with the kids
Good adventure story that held my kids (10 yr old boy / 7 year old girl) interest night after night.
Five Stars
I have the complete collection of the Danny Dunn books now.
Enjoyable as Nostalgia, But Not The Best In The Series
Originally published in 1957, DANNY DUNN ON A DESERT ISLAND is the second in a series of fifteen childrenâs novels by Raymond Abrashkin and Jay Williams. The background for all the novels is the same: widowed Mrs. Dunn is housekeeper for the rather eccentric Professor Euclid Bullfinch, a scientist at Midston University. Her son Danny wants to become a scientist when he grows up, and he and friends Joe and Irene frequently become entangled in science-oriented adventures, often to the professorâs amusement.
In this novel, Professor Bullfinch and his friend Dr. Grimes argue about which has more practical knowledgeâand decide to settle the question by having a competition. Each man will go to a desert island, where he must survive on his own with only basic materials. Danny is to go with Professor Bullfinch and his friend Joe with Dr. Grimes (Irene doesnât appear in the first two books) to help keep score. Unfortunately, their small plane goes down in the Pacific before they can reach their planned destination, and suddenly the four find themselves stranded on a deserted island for real.
The Danny Dunn books have dated tremendously in terms of science. This book refers to island natives in ways that modern readers will find more than a little eye-rolling, and although it is short, it feels wordy in its descriptions of the projects they undertake on the island. I doubt it will be of interest to contemporary childrenâbut nostalgia has its charms. I enjoyed reading the books when I was nine or ten, and Iâm enjoying revisiting them forty years later. They make me smile. Sad to say, the Kindle version does not include the illustrations.

In Memory of Ivan, faithful feline companion for twenty years
Not one of his better adventures
Danny Dunn on a Desert Island, published in 1957, is the second novel in Jay Williams and Raymond Abrashkinâs series of books about a precocious boyâs scientific adventures. I read these books when I was growing up, and now, thanks to the recently released e-book editions from Wildside Press, I am reading them with my two young sons. They really enjoyed the first book in the series, Danny Dunn and the Anti-Gravity Paint. This second installment was a little hard for them to get into at first, but eventually they both came to like it.
