5.0 out of 5 stars The thrilling second book in the Island trilogy., July 20, 2001
This review is from: Survival (Island, Book 2) (Paperback)
Ian, Luke, Charla, and Will have survived a terrible shipwreck and one week on the open seas with no food and scarce water. Now, they have landed on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. Will is suffering from amnesia, and the kids don't even know if J.J. and Lyssa are still alive. The only human beings on this lonely island, they must make a fire, build a shelter, and gather food and water to sustain them, in addition to searching for Will, who has run off into the jungle. When a plane lands on the island, the kids hope to be rescued, but instead, they find themselves in the middle of some very dangerous and illegal dealings. Now the kids have a far bigger problem than simple survival. They have to hide all traces of their existence, or they won't have any hope at all of making it out of this alive. Gordon Korman continues his thrilling Island trilogy with book two, which picks up right where book one left off. I can't wait to read the third book and find out if the kids survive and make it off the island.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 - Survival, September 23, 2001
By 
Cassie (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Survival (Island, Book 2) (Paperback)
Stranded. Separated. Six kids are stuck on a desert island. They have no food. No shelter. Nobody knows they are lost. They take from the island in order to survive. But what if they're not alone? - I recently bought all 3 of the "Island" books and could not put them down. (Read all 3 in 2 days) I highly suggest them to all readers! (I suggest this one the most, though.)
