I thought this was a really good book. It ends with a cliffhanger. This book kind of reminds me of the tv show called Lost. I can't wait to read the second book.
The characters are Vanessa (age 13 and bossy), Carter (age 11 and athletic), Buzz (age 11 and husky), and Jane (age 9 who likes writing and videotaping). Vanessa and Buzz's father married Carter and Jane's mother, so now they are all a family.
The theme is overcoming your fear and challenges by working as a team.
The conflict is that the kids are shipwrecked on an island with no adults. They must provide for themselves until they get rescued. They sometimes argue about the best ways to do things.
The story takes place on a boat called the Lucky Star that crashes on a deserted island near Hawaii. They called it Nowhere Island.
SUMMARY
During the storm that caused the shipwreck, the adults on the boat (Dex and Joe) were thrown overboard. The boat crashed onto an island. Vanessa called 911 from a satellite phone, but it got disconnected. The kids searched the island for water, and tried to fix the solar panel to get the phone working again. They tried to figure out their location on maps inside the boat. They survived on the water they collected and food inside the boat. One night during a storm, they had to escape the boat because it was getting washed out to sea. The story ended with them finding shelter in a cave.
