Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo

Description

Washed up on a remote island in a Pacific storm, Michael curls up and waits to die. But when he wakes, there is fresh fruit beside him. He is not alone… Michael Morpurgo’s vivid story of a young castaway’s struggle for survival is a true modern classic. Partly an adventure fantasy in the purest tradition, it also pulls together powerful and thought-provoking themes of love, loss, forgiveness, hope and redemption.

Winner of the Red House Children’s Book Award.

Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany Kensuke’s Kingdom.
