I read a book in the late 70s or early 80s. I think it was a 60s/early 70s book, but that’s little more than a guess.
A few years later a children’s section librarian helped me find the book again and she knew exactly what I was talking about. Whether that speaks to the popularity of the book, or the quality of the librarian I don’t know. 🙂
The story is a number of children having adventures on an island while their parents are busy. Researchers I think?
Puffins are involved somehow, and I THINK that is part of the name, although whether it’s the name of the book or the island I’m not sure.
They get to the island via seaplane and I think there was a seaplane on the cover.
There were at least 2 books, maybe more.
Not much, I know. 🙂
It’s funny how strong the memory of loving the book is, yet so few details remain.
Try The Sea of Adventure, by Enid Blyton.
Have you ruled out The Sea of Adventure?

Oh!!!!!
VERY possibly. That sounds right. Trying to find a copy now.
