Kensuke's Kingdom

Stranded on a remote Pacific island after falling overboard, young Michael faces the ultimate test of survival. Hungry, thirsty, and alone, he prepares for the worst—until he discovers fresh water, fruit, and fish left beside him each day. Someone else inhabits this island, and an extraordinary bond of friendship and trust begins to unfold. This gripping tale of resilience, companionship, and human connection comes from Michael Morpurgo, the celebrated author of War Horse. Winner of the FCB Award and shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize, Kensuke's Kingdom captures the magic of adventure and the power of unexpected friendship.
