Publisher Description
It was supposed to be a vacation—and a chance to get to know each other better. But when a massive storm sets in without warning, four kids are shipwrecked alone on a rocky jungle island in the middle of the South Pacific. No adults. No instructions. Nobody to rely on but themselves. Can they make it home alive? A week ago, the biggest challenge Vanessa, Buzz, Carter, and Jane had was learning to live as a new, blended family. Now the four siblings must find a way to work together if they're going to make it off the island. But first they've got to learn to survive one another. This is the first of three exciting adventures from Emmy Award–winning host of Survivor, Jeff Probst, and New York Times bestselling author, Chris Tebbetts!

"One of my students this year loves the show Survivor so he was so excited to find out that there was a series out by the host. This is the first book in the series and it will hook reluctant readers who enjoy reading survival books and being in suspense too. Along with the survival theme of book, there are also social issues too. The main characters are four kids who are now related by marriage, two from the mother and two from the father in a new marriage. The parents are on their honeymoon and the four kids are traveling on the uncle's boat and the goal of the trip is for the four kids to bond and begin to like each other or at least be civil to one another. While they are at sea, there is a huge storm that drastically changes their plans and the survival begins..."

" Targeted to 8-12 year-olds, this was something we read as a family just because we got to meet the author (Jeff Probst) and he told us about the book before it was published. The book itself was fairly forgettable, but he's a great guy and I hope the series does well. "
