Summary: The first book in a thrilling new trilogy.
Comment: Six kids are thrown together against their will on a small boat that will make a one-month journey on the Pacific Ocean. None of them want to be here, and all have been sent for different reasons. Luke is taking his only choice besides being sent to a juvenile detention facility for a crime he didn't commit. Will and Lyssa are quarreling siblings sent by their parents, who hope the trip will teach them to get along better. J.J. was sent by a movie-star father after he pulled one two many pranks. Ian's parents hoped to cure him of his TV addiction, and Charla was sent after she mysteriously lost her athletic abilities - what the doctor called a "burnout." But these six totally different kids are going to have to learn to work together to survive a vicious storm and a shipwreck that leaves them stranded in the middle of the ocean with no food, no water, and almost no hope for survival. This thrilling new trilogy is off to a great start. I can't wait to read the next two books.

Summary: ISLAND Book One : SHIPWRECK
Comment: This book as one of the most adventuress novels I have ever read. It was most exciting when Captain Callahan died because of all of the chaos that went on. The reason that I rated this book only 4 stars was because the ending was not very exciting, they got on the island and that was it the end. I think it would have been better if the author would have made some mention of Will regaining his consciousness. I also think it was very good when the villain, Mr. Radford, left the kids marrooned on the sinking ship, because that is when the kids had to depend on themselves for survival instead of some other person. I really enjoyed this book and recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure from 10-16.

Summary: Exciting adventure
Comment: My 9 year old 3rd grader (girl) read this book and found it thrilling. (So of course I had to read it too!) She can't wait to read the 2nd book. A bit reminiscent of "Holes" (though not of the literary quality/depth), a group of kids, each with a unique situation, is sent on a sailboat trip to learn teamwork. Disaster (after disaster) strikes and they are in a struggle for their lives.
