Michael's parents buy a yacht, and take him off to sail round the world. Washed overboard in a fierce storm, Michael finds himself on the shore of a remote island - and soon discovers he's not alone.

As an extraordinary bond forms between the two, Kensuke faces a heart-breaking choice: can he give up the secluded life he's built for himself to help reunite Michael with his parents? Knowing the pain of losing his own family, Kensuke knows which way he has to decide...

新聞の書評をみて購入したのですが、思った以上の作品でした。
主人公の少年と両親が航海へ出た理由。両親と離れて島に漂流してしまった少年を陰ながら助ける旧日本兵のエンスケの理由。漂流した島の自然。少年の成長物語と、戦争によってもたらされた過酷とも思える一生を受け入れようとするケンスケの物語が織り合って、深みのある話になっていると思います。
少年の語りで終始されている所もとてもよいと思いました。ぐんぐん引き込まれて一気に読んでしまいましたが、余韻の残る本でした。
海外の作家の方が、日本人の気質をとてもよく捕らえて下さっているように感じた点も何となくうれしく思いました。

I'm 44 and do not like reading. I only read a book or two a year, but my sister insisted I look at this one which she had read to my nieces. I was gripped and enthralled from nearly the beginning. What a shame that more adults do not read this kind of literature! What a shame that this book is primarily considered a children's story, when it's clearly for all ages. Of course, it is very simple. Like all things beautiful. Mr. Morpurgo, you have an amazing talent, thank you for sharing it. And unlike the other reviewer, I loved the ending. It was absolutely perfect!

Kensuke`s Kingdom
2001/1/2
The book I have chosen to review is"Kensuke's Kingdom" by Michael Morpurgo.. This book is an adventure book, about a boy aged 11 called Michael whose mum and dad sail around the world. In the middle of the journey Michael falls off the "Peggy Sue" (the name of the boat.). He lands on an island but he can't find any signs of Civilization. He begins to get hungry and thirsty and goes to sleep to die. He wakes up and mysteriously there is food and drink .Michael wonders who gave him this food .he lights a fire but an old man comes and puts it out. This man is called Kensuke, Kensuke and Michael don't get along very well. Michael is getting bitten by mosquitos and his way of soothing them was to bathe in the sea. Kensuke came and told him that he could not bathe in the sea. One day his bites hurt him so much that he goes in the sea anyway, he gets stung by a deadly jellyfish . Kensuke rescues him and heals his stings, then Kensuke and Mica (what Kensuke calls Michael) became friends and do everything together. Michael still continues to miss his parents. One day a ship comes Michael thinks it may rescue him but actually it is "The Killer Men" coming to shoot the orang-tang. Kensuke hated these men!. A few days later another ship comes, it was the "Peggy Sue". The main Characters in this book are Kensuke and Michael: Kensuke is an old sailor from Japan .He was the only survivor when his ship was bombed. He found an island and lived there . He did not return to Nagasaki, Japan (home) because he thought his wife and son had been killed in an atomic bomb. Michael is an 11 year old boy who enjoys playing football. Aboard the "Peggy Sue"he is the runner . Stella is a black and white dog ,who is Michael's companion. Michael is the narrator in this book ,.This book is written in English and occasionally there are some Japanese words eg: Abunai (meaning danger).In tis book there is not much dialogue or humour. There is quite a lot of description in this book, most of it is brought over by Kensuke's and Michael's feelings eg: "He cooked over a small fire which smoked continuously at the back of the cave, the smoke rising through a small cleft in the rocks high above-a possible reason, I thought, why there were no mosquitoes to bother me.". This book moves quickly and is divided into 10 chapters. At the end or beginning of a chapter there is an illustration.,the illustrations are done by Michael Foreman. I think you learn from this book what life would be like to be stranded on a tropical island. I think this book is griping ,the book ends a bit int the air and I think to could maybe have a sequel to it. I would recommend this book to people aged 11+, and people who like an adventurous fairytale/ real life book.

Kensukes kingdom - my favourite book
2002/3/14
When i was forced to read this book for a quiz i thought that it would be very boring. Boy was i wrong. It is my favourite book, i have read it several times since and it is so good that each time i read it i have to read it all in one night, i can't put it down.
When Michaels parents are made redundant, they buy a boat, The Peggy Sue, and sail round the world. When they are in the pacific ocean, Michael and his dog, Stella Artois, fall over board whilst Michaels parents are asleep. They drift onto an island, but they can't find any food. Michael expects that they will die of hunger, until someone on the uninhabited island leaves them food. Who is this kind person? How will Michael get home?
