(3) 4-6 Berenson Schemes series. Illustrated by Ivica Stevanovic. In this series-opener, eleven-year-old Jack's flighty parents drag him to the Caribbean for their latest get-rich-quick scheme: a snorkeling business. During their first outing, Jack ends up shipwrecked on an island alone and must survive while waiting for his dizzy parents to come to his rescue. The caricaturish illustrations add even more humor to a story that flips the usual parent-child relationship.
