Who amongst us hasn’t daydreamed about getting away from it all and escaping to your own private island? Islands offer a true escape from the hustle of everyday life; a connection with the environment and the ultimate sense of personal space. Thoughts of wandering the shores of your own island have captivated all of us at one point or another. It provides absolute peace with nature and an incredible sense of accomplishment. What if this dream isn’t as crazy as it seems?
Doug and KT Ingersoll are in the business of selling dreams. Island dreams, that is. Their company, Caribbean Island Brokers specializes in islands and resorts.

And fans eager for the next book need wait only until May, when Little Brown Books for Young Readers’ Poppy imprint will publish Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl: The Carlyles with a 200,000-copy first printing.
With the exception of the gossipy blogger who gives the series its name, the cast of this and subsequent volumes in the spin-off is all-new, though the setting remains the same. Exactly the same.
