By: Samantha Wheeler, Anke Noack (Illustrator)
Bestselling and award-winning Australian author Samantha Wheeler returns with a thrilling desert island adventure that reckons with the power of nature.
Theo thinks there's nothing worse than being stuck on a Pacific cruise with his dad, new stepmum and annoying stepsister. But when he's thrown overboard during a storm and washes up on a desert island, he suddenly has much bigger problems.
As Theo tackles castaway life - finding food, water and shelter - he discovers the island is full of mysteries- spooky noises, possible ghosts and the strangest birds he's ever seen. With survival getting tougher by the day and no rescue in sight, Theo is desperate to get back to his family. But to escape the island, he must unlock its secrets - and learn a few important truths about the power of nature along the way.
