5-star Book(Island2survival), Dec 13 2002
By A Customer
Im here to tell you about a book i read. My book is called Island2survival. It is one book out of a series of three. This book ihas 138 pages. The author of this book is Gorden Korman. He also wirtes other three series books.
The genre of this book is realistic fiction and adventure. It is realistic fiction becauseit could happen in real life. It is adventure becausethe kids have to survive ont he island.
The setting of this story is: on an uncharted island over the summer. The plot is that six kids get shipwrecked on an uncharted island. They have to find food and build shelter to survive. Later on in the book they find out there are smugglers on the island that sell illegal animal parts. Whenever they hear the plane, they have to put out the fire and take all the food and supplies off the beach, and take them into the jungle where the smugglers cant see them.
There are some reasons i like this book. They are:The kids were trapped ont he island alone, they are on an island that has a big jungle,and because they have to be careful because there are smugglers on the island.
The reccomended age group i would think is nine years old and up,because it has some scenesthat younger kids wouldnt understand and it has one killing part in it.
This was a great book. Iwould reccomend you to read it.
GOOD-Bye

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.
