Monster Mission
Author: Eva Ibbotson
In Indonesia published as Misi Monster by Gramedia Pustaka Utama

Minette and Fabio never like their current ‘homes’. Minette because she has to shuttle between her dad’s and her mom’s – her divorced parents hate each other and each thinks know what’s best for their daughter, although their main concern is themselves. Fabio because he’s not happy to spend his time in a boarding school where he gets mocked just because he’s not quite English. He is the son of an aristocratic English father and a Brazilian dancer. His father has died, while his mother wanted to live with another man, so she sent Fabio to his English grandparents who think that education under strict rules is what a child needs.

But Minette and Fabio don’t know whether they love their new life in The Island, where the Aunts who kidnap them bring them to. They have to work hard there, helping the Aunts saving marine animals that are victims of environmental accidents and degradation. At least, the Island is far more beautiful than their parents and grandparents’ houses.
