Shipwreck Island

Sarah Robinson is deeply troubled in the wake of her dad's second marriage. She now has to deal with a new stepmom and two stepbrothers, Marco, who is her age, and Nacho, who's younger. Even though they've all moved from Texas to California to start life as a new, blended family, none of the kids seem remotely happy about it.

Sarah's dad and stepmom then decide to take the whole family on a special vacation in order to break the ice and have everyone get to know one another. They'll fly to Tahiti, charter a boat, and go sailing for a few days. It'll be an adventure, right?

Wrong. Dead wrong.

Shipwreck Island is the first installment in a series from S.A. Bodeen

My kind of story

I liked this high sea adventure. Modern day swiss family robinson on a strange island

Ok but not that entertaining!

Story is more of a “Lost” meets “Swiss Family Robinson”. Characters are interesting but the Island just doesn’t bring about the real situation of being stranded or shipwreck. Would have been better if more focus was on survival than the fantasy of strange creatures and sounds. Have to read next book to see what happens- no closure. I love island, sailing, ocean topic books. This just doesn’t hit the spot.
