Kensuke's Kingdom

This term, Team West have been reading a book written by Michael Morpurgo called 'Kensuke's Kingdom.'  The story is about a boy called Michael, who goes on a sailing adventure around the world, with his parents, after they lose their jobs at the brickworks.
During the voyage, Michael's dog, Stella Artois, falls overboard during a storm, and Michael tries to rescue her.  However, he is not harnessed to the yacht and isn't wearing a lifejacket.  He finds himself washed up on the beach of a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean.  He will have to survive there, with the help of a Japanese man called Kensuke.  He is angry about having to share his island, but he helps Michael out and they become friends.  Gradually, Michael learns about Kensuke and his past.
We made these 'Missing' posters and were very pleased with them.
