Solomon Islands

Solomon Time: An Unlikely Quest in the South Pacific, by Will Randall (2002). Tired of life in England, Randall heads to the Solomon Islands with a mission to help its residents improve their standard of living. Randall decides that starting a chicken farm would be most beneficial to the islanders of Mendali, but soon learns that chasing chickens around an island surrounded by shark-infested waters is no easy task. Randall's comedic storytelling comes alive with the characters he befriends, including a one-eyed pygmy.
