Publisher Description

An action-packed survival suspense from bestselling and award-winning author Gordon Korman

Six kids. One shipwreck. One desert island.They didn't want to be on the boat in the first place. They were sent there as punishment, or as a character-building experience. Now the adults are gone, and the quest for survival has begun.

"Six kids are sent to Guam to board a boat together to spend a month at sea as punishment for something they have done in their lives. For one, it is possessing a firearm at school. Another spends all his time watching TV and cannot break free from the electronic world. A third is a world class athlete who has spread herself too thin to be successful at one thing. The fourth is a rich LA kid who causes problems and doesn't realize the consequences of his actions. The last two are a brother and sister who cannot get along with each other. Together on the SS Phoenix, these six learn about work, getting along and ultimately survival. The first in a trilogy."

    " An entertaining adventure story that will mostly appeal to 4th through 6th graders. I think Korman could have kept it all as one book instead of splitting into three titles, but I do see how the shorter look of each novel appeals to reluctant readers. "

    " Go Gordon Korman! As in his Everest trilogy, he introduces his characters quickly and throws them headfirst (headlong?) into tension, conflict, and (mis)adventure. I enjoyed recommending this one to one of my stronger readers, and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next. "
