Shipwreck (2000)

Island was a good book , but i ended up dropping it after about 40 pages . for me it was to slow on explaining the characters , also it wasn't on my level reading . it was a really small book that i thought would be for a lower grade . It was mostly about how the characters got on the ship , and how much they dreaded it . i didn't make it to the actual ship wreck part but im sure the rest of the series is good . ( )

This book is about six teenagers who were stuck on a boat for half of the year. They all never met before and they were never on a boat before. They were fine at sea until they hit a terrible storm. The storm destroyed the boat and sunk into the ocean. Luckily, the kids survived the storm, made a raft, and were stranded in the ocean. They were stuck in the ocean for days then finally they found land. Now they must rely on each other to survive.

I like this book because the kids survive the ocean and not adults. The best part was when one of the kids dove into the water to avoid getting sunk. The worst part was when they were stranded on the raft. The funniest part was when Luke gets hit in the head by the door. I like the twist in this book. I like the description of the ocean. If you like books about island survival then this is the book for you. ( )

Island is a book full of adventure. When six kids go aboard a boat, they never dreamed of this happening. SHIPWRECK!!! It takes all their guts to srvive. Thats why this book is so amazing. ( )

Imangine yourself out as sea with a doubt as if this was actually fake or real. You never know when you can be even more lost in the waters or maybe you may arrive at a island? or maybe even you may be saved? In the book island by Gordon Korman it's an amazing book that you can't put down. You always wonder what will actually happen next.

The book starts with 1 more kid each or every few days arriving at a boat for disipline. They each have a history and their own little secret, but throughout the story they start to find ot more about each other and their differences.
It starts off as a normal boat with chores and gross food, even a bedroom as small as a closet. Everyone dreads the boring day of moping floors, non-decent food and sleeping in a closet. Just like they wished for, action appears, but it may not've been the kind of excitement they've wished for.
Days and days of storms happen and it's the most rough at sea. Even though they didn't expect it, the boat starts filling up with plenty of water more that which they can even keep up with. Then on a night of a very feirce storm, the captin disappers. The 6 kids wonder if he's dead or perheaps he drowned? Then as days goes by, more people disappers including a very important person on the boat, also employees, cooks, everyone. Soon enough they were the only one left on the boat. One wonders if this is some lame tv show they're filming, even though the others knew that's probably not the case.
One night the boat couldn't take it anymore and spilt into two, the 6 kids went in all different parts of the waters. Trying there best 4 of them find each other, but 2 still missing. Even though as days past they still didn't give up. They tried their best for survivial, eating nothing, drinking rain water and some even having to stay in the water as shark-bait. Just as they almost can't take it anymore, they got a surprise and a island awaits them.
When they arrived, some was as happy as can be, but they never know the adventure ahead of them.

This book puts you on the end of the seat. It was really great reading this and you never know what will happen next. ( )
