The story of Dominic, Otto and Pauline Rigonda, three siblings who are blown onto an island after being shipwrecked, and are later joined by the immigrant passengers and crew of a ship that is wrecked on the same island. When the question of government comes up, the little colony chooses a queen, and they work on improving the island for some time, despite internal dissensions, and an attack by savages. But eventually the colony encounters natural forces it cannot resist, and the queen and her family return to England, hopefully to live "happily ever after". - Summary by Alayna May (5 hr 19 min)

Reseñas
Excellent!!





Luella
I love this book! Rachel, especially, reads it wonderfully! And unlike another reviewer, I didn't think it was anything like Coral Island, even though the overall situation is similar. And this book was way better! (In my opinion).
funny

ReCat
Very similar to Coral island





Avid listener
Listened to Coral Island prior to this and there are so many similarities it's like listening to the same book twice, If you've read/ heard one dont bother with the other. 3 shipwrecked youngsters,finding a cave, coconut water, killing piglets with stones, making a raft etc etc
