About This Book

A group of young explorers and their companion investigate mysterious disappearances on an island, recover wreckage and a lifeboat, and encounter an orangutan companion. They construct weapons and a new boat while learning about soils, plants, metallurgy, and hull design, decode a concealed message found in salvaged gear, and face violent monsoon winds as they prospect for resources, hunt, and solve local enigmas. Practical lessons in mechanics, chemistry, navigation, and animal behavior are woven into the adventurous tasks of building, survival, and exploration.
