When eleven year old Noah sneaks onto his sister's school trip, he thinks it's going to be a good way to get away from school for the day. Think again! The group of six children are left stranded on a mysterious island without food, water or mobile phones (long story). Told through a series of letters Noah writes home, this is a hilarious story that will be hugely popular with our students at Glenthorne and countless more. This is for anyone who dreamed of getting lost with their friends, surviving the odds and being bold. These children all have several differences between them but this doesn't stop them sticking together and being friends through all of the hardships they encounter, and they encounter a lot! Through all the jokes and gut-busting humour is a really heartwarming theme plus commentary about our ridiculous dependency on mobile phones and the internet in general. I loved this story, it's another great addition to Frank Cottrell-Boyce's amazing canon of material. Great for ages 8+!
