Book Review: CGE Student Review
Summary: 5 Stars
The Swiss Family Robinson is a family traveling in the sea when a tragic storm hits them off course and sends them deeper into the storm and then they were forced to abandon their ship. Unfortunately there were not enough life boats so they had to leave a family and their livestock alone to drown or starve to death. Will they survive the night?
Characters: Swiss family Robinson, Tork and Flora, Elizabeth and the livestock and animals.
Genre: Nonfiction
This adventurous story of a ship wrecked family surviving and conquering the wild and taming animals and building shelter and they have happy and sad times living there and end up actually enjoying it.
I recommend this book to adventure seekers everywhere and people who love survival stories.
