Summary: A Superb Book!
Review: I simply loved this book! No other book can compete with it not even Harry Potter. The book is great for 10 upwards. If you like travelling, exploring, playing football, sailing, painting, learning from other people and making things, then this is the book for you. It all started with the arrival of a letter that changed the lives of Michael's Family in turn made the parents lose their jobs. After many harsh months of poverty, the father gets an idea of sailing round the whole world with a sailing boat called "Peggy Sue." The family battles through storms and towering waves but most of the time loves doing fun things onboard. (let me go to the point, I'm writing too much) Soon afterwards we find Michael on a tropical island in the Pacific, where we find out that it's inhabitated by an old man called Kensuke,a Japanese. They both teach each other new things. Michael teaches Kensuke how to speak English while the other teaches him how to be resourceful. That's not all. At one point, each one had a story to tell. Stories on how they got stranded on the island. This makes it more amusing. We also find cute creatures called orangutan. Well there's too much to tell about the book. If you find this book, buy it, it will be a treasure for your library.

Summary: An awesome book!
Review: This book is absolutely wonderful. It is about a boy who ends up being cast upon an island and encounters an old man. The book is about how these two people live together. Kind of like a mini Robinson Crusoe. If you see this book, read it!

Review: This is one great book. I have a twelve-year-old son who hates to read so I'm always looking for something that will entice him. This book not only hooked him, but it also riveted his ten-year-old sister and me, his mom. Written in diary form, it has believeable, intelligent characters, an exciting story and a plot that keeps you coming back for more. This book is not only for reluctant readers but for kids who love to read and their parents as well. NOTE: The following is an observation AND NOT PART OF THE REVIEW: When I rated this book I got a message that said if I liked this book I'd probably like "Hollywood Wives" by Jackie Collins and "Leap of Faith" by Danielle Steel. Trust me, this book has NOTHING in common with those books.
