From the Publisher: When Michael's parents lose their jobs, they buy a boat and decide to sail around the world with their son and their beloved dog. It's an ideal trip-until Michael is swept overboard. He's washed up on an island, where he struggles to survive. Then he discovers that he's not alone. His fellow-castaway, Kensuke, keeps his distance at first. But when Michael's life is threatened, he slowly lets the boy into his world. The two teach and learn from each other until, inevitably, they must part ways.

Add a CommentI LOVED THIS BOOK SOOO MUCH! It is really great if you like reading adventure stories too. I had so much fun reading this
Epic book! Great if you like adventure.
REALLY GOOD BOOK!!! If you like it, you should read Greater Tamarind. Those two books are very similar.
I read this book in one day. It is a page turner! Whenever I had the chance I was reading it. I was actually surprised by the ending. I recommend this for any reader.
After his parents lose their jobs at the local brickworks Michael and his family embark on a round-the-world sailing trip. On the eve of his twelfth birthday, however, Michael falls overboard and is stranded on an unnamed island somewhere in the far East. But the island is far from uninhabited... who is leaving food for Michael? Despite an ending that is somewhat unbelievable, I enjoyed this YRCA 2006 nominee: it is similar to other stranded on a desert island books such as Theodore Taylor''s THE CAY.
