About This Book

A small band of young crew members becomes separated from their vessel and is set adrift in the Pacific, reaching a coral atoll where they improvise shelter, procure and preserve food by fishing and smoking, and explore surrounding reefs. Their island life alternates between resourceful survival — building huts, curing fish, and crafting boats — and sudden peril, including hostile pursuers, capture, and daring attempts at escape as they struggle to regain freedom.
