This is the first official journal of the Chess siblings and their many adventures to a Ivy's Island, in the year 1927, with their loyal friend, Ivy. The seven children set out on a voyage after months of life on the mainland. This story is the reality of what happened to us, and we hope to write more journals in the future about our many expeditions. Phil, Mary, Wendy, John, Ellen-Rose, Ollie Chess and Ivy McBatten.
