My thoughts: I was sort of disappointed in the book because in the movie they have a pirate attack and in the book there are no pirate’s but, there was a giant boa attack. The donkey was accidentally let go and was killed by the boa and then they shot it while it’s eating the donkey. This book made me feel like if I was ship wrecked I could save me and my family by what I have read. This sort of compares to another book where 6 kids are ship wrecked and survives on an island.
A family of 6 is shipwreck on an island and is left to their own devices. Father, Mother, Fritz, Ernest, Jack and little Francis build an aerial tree house, a house in a rock, along with many other things. They use what is on is on the island and left on the ship to survive ten years. They have sugar, a large farm, lots of common animals and exotic birds and animals. They tame a buffalo, an ostrich, an elephant, a hawk; some parrots a jackal, a monkey and some bees.
I didn't read the book but enjoyed the movie, but I've wondered if the story is true. Do you know? If it is true I'd like to read it. I mostly read non-fiction. I think that real peoples lives can be as interesting as any fiction. Keep on bloging - that's interesting too.
