About This Book

The narrator, Mike Flanagan, recounts his life at sea after joining a long voyage in which a reserved passenger, James Robinson Crusoe, befriends and defends him against a bullying mate; a sudden storm and consequent shipwreck lead to island survival, improvised craftwork, strange visitors, and episodic adventures that reveal links to the Crusoe legacy, all told in the narrator's plainspoken, anecdotal voice.
