Trouble on Tarragon Island is a children's novel by Nikki Tate, the third novel in the Tarragon Island series. Released in Canada in 2005 by Sono Nis Press, it was nominated for a Diamond Willow Award.
Like the earlier novels in the series,Tarragon Island and No Cafés in Narnia, Trouble on Tarragon Island is set on a small fictional island in the Gulf of Georgia off Canada's West Coast. The main character is Heather Blake, a budding writer, who has moved there from Toronto with her family and has difficulty adjusting to life in a small community. The "trouble" of the title refers to a conflict between the Ladies of the Forest protest group and some loggers over a stand of old-growth trees.
The book gained some notoriety in 2007 following an elementary school librarian banning the book. In the story, the main character's grandmother poses for a nude calendar, and is described as having "generous bazoongas."
