Two kids face off against a wicked uncle who wants to kill one of them for his inheritance. Now, this plotline may sound bland but Rohan O'Grady manage to execute that plotline in a way to make it the opposite of bland. The characters are fleshed out (In a form of Fiction Cliché #37, one of the kids has a crush on the early adult aged island constable.). The action is set up in order to make things not be a cop out. The island town setting is described so as to make one wonder why that didn't make it into the movie. Hell, the finale is guaranteed to surprise you as it does not end the way the movie does. Spoilers will not be presented here. You'll have to read the book to see how it all ends.
