I loved this book as a young teen and read it over and over. It has a strong family in a classic adventure with a Swiss Family Robinson man vs. nature feel. The story is simple but meaningful and I still find it fun to read. Some of the dialog follows a 30's clipped and dense style which might make it difficult for a very young person. There is a subtext of coming of age and how becoming an adult is about taking responsibility. I read this book to my own boys and they loved it too. I'm old fashioned enough to call this a boy's book. I know a woman older than I am who also loves this book; she says its a boy's book too.
