Castaway: 13 year old Sam Clark's parents died in a house fire. The book tells you his journey traveling on a ship to find his brother that works at sea. He makes new friends along the way. The ship wrecks on Disappointment Island. 15 of the 28 crew members survive; Sam being one of them. For 7 months they live on this Island eating Mollymawks and Seals. They make grass huts and fight for survival. After 7 months of living on this miserable island they are rescued by a science expedition.
I would recommend this to someone who enjoys reading about history. Its a hard book to get into but its an interesting journey.
