Product Description
"I disappeared on the night before my twelfth birthday, July 28th 1988. Only now can I tell the whole extraordinary story, the true story."

Michael's family are on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing around the world in their yacht, the Peggy Sue. But when Michael falls overboard and is washed up on a remote island, he must learn to survive on his own. Until he discovers he is not alone. Kensuke's Kingdom will give rise to a wide range of follow-up work. Teachers who reviewed the novel for us suggested: diary writing; comparison of both fiction and non-fiction genres; research; hotseating; creative and informative writing. Recommended by Wendy Cooling in Books to Enjoy with Boys in Mind. Winner of the 2000 Children's Book Award Shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book Award Age 11+
Industry Reviews
When Michael's parents are made redundant, they decide to sail round the world. But Michael is washed overboard while both parents are asleep, and finds himself on a deserted island where food and water are mysteriously provided for him. This is Michael's evocative account of his time on the island, not knowing what has happened to his parents or whether he will ever be rescued. Shortlisted for the Whitbread Award.
