Kensuke's Kingdom
Kensuke's Kingdom | Michael Morpurgo
A spellbinding tale of survival and self-discovery from award-winning author Michael Morpurgo, who is poised for breakthrough U.S. success. 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.

I couldn‘t decide between the two so I posted both. A classic Agatha Christie and an exciting middle grade book about a boy shipwrecked on an island. Tagging @Karisimo for tagged book.

I read this book few years ago when I was in school. It is a great book it's mystery kept me hooked. This book tells you to be in the present and enjoy your life as it passes. It also shows a connect between animals and humans. The old man which the author meet on the island was lost due to shipcrash but he was save. He stayed on the island since then, he got friendly with the animals and stayed with them. I just love reading books of the author.

This is an amazing story of survival and friendship. Coincidentally, I got stranded in the island and had to extend my stay; I couldn't have read this at a more appropriate time. Talk about a perfect read! 😁😁😁
