So far in the book "The Islanders"

I got a new book called "The Islanders" by John Rowe Townsend. What I have read so far is that there is a couple of people living on an island called Halcyon. They don't know anyone out of the island. Halcyon was a place that a lot more people used to live in back in the day. They used to get things from outside the island. Now it's only a few people and they all know each other and they are all friends. Later in the book there was a ship with two kids that crashed along the shore. They went to go help them and they were hurt. No one new the two kids and they wanted to know who they were. That was where I left off of. I abandoned the book because it got pretty boring because it was just about some stuff that was going on in the island. I didn't want to wait till the end of the book for the good stuff to start. Also one of my friends ruined the ending for me so theres no point in reading it anymore. I think I wouldn't like it anyways because I feel that it was going to be too confusing later on. hi
