Cast Away

This short, full colour graphic novel is packed with action and dramatic pictures.

A group of school children are on a residential holiday. One of them forgets his camera and they have to go to a small island off the coast to retrieve it at night. As one would expect this does not turn out to be straightforward. The tension is added to by the rivalry between the boys and the girls.However,  friendship will out and between them they make a safe return though it is touch and go.

Recommended especially if you are looking for somethinng for a less experienced reader. The storyline is likely to appeal to boys.
