I think this book is very interesting and useful.
It told about a family they were sent to an abandoned island, and they had to do all things to survive from the hard time. Then the father and mother taught all they know to their four sons. And the kids learned to work together and be kind and patient.
What is more, the book shows us many useful skills, and tells us that people can build their lives again in a new and strange place. ( )

This story is very exiting.
They live on the tree, and met a lot of animals and plants.

But, finally the family decided to stay the iland except a boy, Fritz.
If I were in the island, I would want to leave it. Even if the island is beautiful, I cannot live in the island! ( )

A ship was lost and a family begins to live in a island.
The father and mother of the family know well how to live in a island.
They make their house, pens, canoe, and so on.
They are very indefatigable and their children, too! ( )
