A great read

My favorite book is the second book in a series called Island. It's entitled Survival, and it's by Gordon Korman. One thing I like about this book is the nonstop action in the fight for the ultimate prize, survival. Wild boars, mosquitoes, and killers that use the island for illegally selling endangered animal parts and elephant ivory are only the beginning of the six shipwrecked kids' worries. If one of the kids doesn't see a doctor, it means certain death. Another reason I absolutely love this book is because it is so real. From the way Gordon Korman describes all of the kids' hardships to the setting on an invisible island that is not on any map, it makes me feel as if everything is really happening. Yet another reason I adore this book is the constant suspense. For example, I kept on asking myself, " What's going to happen next?" When the story looked as if it would turn out one way, it turned out to be something totally different than what I had thought. With the combination the kids worries, problems, overcome obstacles, and their everlasting hope, this book is the best I've ever read.

They didn't want to be on the boat trip. After a week at sea Charla Swann, Luke Haggerty, Ian Sikorsky, and Will Greenfield have fallen on a desert island. They have no supplies. Ther friends are dead. Ther captain went overboard. Their mate jumped the sinking schooner and left them to die. They must take from the island in order to survive.But what if they aren't alone? The sequel to Island Shipwreck, Survival is a great book about the four shipmates begining life on the island. You will love it.

Book 2 - Survival

Stranded. Separated. Six kids are stuck on a desert island. They have no food. No shelter. Nobody knows they are lost. They take from the island in order to survive. But what if they're not alone? - I recently bought all 3 of the "Island" books and could not put them down. (Read all 3 in 2 days) I highly suggest them to all readers! (I suggest this one the most, though.)

The thrilling second book in the Island trilogy.

Ian, Luke, Charla, and Will have survived a terrible shipwreck and one week on the open seas with no food and scarce water. Now, they have landed on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. Will is suffering from amnesia, and the kids don't even know if J.J. and Lyssa are still alive. The only human beings on this lonely island, they must make a fire, build a shelter, and gather food and water to sustain them, in addition to searching for Will, who has run off into the jungle. When a plane lands on the island, the kids hope to be rescued, but instead, they find themselves in the middle of some very dangerous and illegal dealings. Now the kids have a far bigger problem than simple survival. They have to hide all traces of their existence, or they won't have any hope at all of making it out of this alive. Gordon Korman continues his thrilling Island trilogy with book two, which picks up right where book one left off. I can't wait to read the third book and find out if the kids survive and make it off the island.
