Trivia

 * It is the second Island that takes place in a different continuity than Poptropica, being part of an entirely different series. The first is Nabooti Island.

Glitches

 * Map Glitch: In the detention room, the world map is missing Australia, Indonesia, the Caribbean islands, the Mediterranean, Japan, Hudson Bay, Malaysia, Greenland, and Siberia. Also, the continents of South America and Africa are shaped differently and Antarctica is smaller.
 * Scuba Gear: You don't have to get the scuba gear to dive. You can customize it off of someone else, for example, in a common room.
 * Teleporting Artur Glitch: In the school basement, Artur can be seen at the heater. But when the lights are turned off, he is not there.
 * Not Gum Glitch: Popgum (bought from the Poptropica Store) isn't really gum, since you can chew it inside the school and Mrs. Godfrey won't give you a detention.

Reviews

 * Golden Bug: This island was very easy! It's still a cool island, and really true to what inspired it.
 * Shaky Noodle: I really don't like these type of islands, but it was Okay, 6 out of 10.
 * Funny Bones: Extremely easy, but I don't really like the islands based off books either. It was pretty fun though, and true to the comic strip. 7/10
