I DISAPPEARED ON THE NIGHT BEFORE MY TWELFTH BIRTHDAY. Washed up on a desert island, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food, no water and only his dog for company, he curls up to die. When he wakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone... The winner of the Red House Children's Book Prize, Kensuke's Kingdom is a remarkable tale of survival against all odds.
