I think of it as a 'prequel' to the series since it has Jack and Toby as 'young men'. It was reminiscent somewhat of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe since Jack and Toby manage to get themselves stranded on an island with very unfriendly natives. Fun to read, the whole series is on my keeper shelf so I can re-read it all at some point.
