Shipwreck+(Island,+Book+1)

by Gorman Korman

Over the summer, I read Island Book 1: Shipwreck by Gordon Korman. After boarding their boat, a crew of six kids and a captain sail to L.A. But on the way there, there is a terrible storm that makes the captain disappear. How will the children make it to safety without the captain? My favorite part of the book was when the engine exploded into balls of fire making the boat explode with it. They deploy a boat to try to find an island. If you like survival and action literature, you will love this book. - David O.
