An absolutely crackling novel, an edge of the seat adventure, Kensuke's Kingdom is a marvellous book starring Michael and Kensuke. After a catastrophic fall overboard, Michael finds himself washed away on a remote island, with old Kensuke. I would never have though of this book to be such a fabulous read, but it was spectacular. The vivid description and characterisation and the stunning plot made me hold onto the book till the absolute last word. It is a truly heartwarming story, full of friendship and trust. The book was exceptional, and I'll give it a full 5 out of 5 stars-*****. It brings out the statement- friendship needs no language and how important the friendship and bonds are in life. Run to the nearest bookstore and grab a copy of it. I'm sure you won't regret it. Michael Morpurgo has done a sensational job with the beautiful lines, full of stimulating paragraphs and give us a feeling of actually being on the island. The imagery is unbelievably convincing. I just loved it. It was extraordinary. I have never read such a book, with such breath-taking description and a fantastic plot. It feels like I have stumbled upon in their world, cast away on an unknown island. I think all of you will absolutely adore this book. It may be short, but you don't need a 500- page thick novel to bring out the message. You need Kensuke's Kingdom. Think of it as the perfect read.
