Kensuke's Kingdom

A very enjoyable adventure for children aged 8 upwards. Great for learning about world. Has some lovely reflections on relationships with people around us and deals with world issues too.

One of the best books I ever read

This threw me into a big adventure and taught me to always try, even if I think things are hopeless.

We went at school now I have it at home. I love the book. I love how the dog is okay by the end and how Michael goes into the island and tries to become friends and eventually he does does. I would recommend this book to loads of kids because it's a kid book and some adults if they abide and want to read something which is a little bit of a matchup from what they usually read

The relationship between Kensuke and Michael.

I like how it was based of a really story and how exciting the story was whilst reading!

I liked it because I like adventures espeacially ones with animals and nature . I would recommend it to people who like adventures and animals .

I loved how Kensuke provided and I would recommend it.

this was such a good book ... it is a 6/5

This book was interesting because we get to see How Michael reacts when getting stranded on a desert island with an old man.

Oh this book was a book in a book Michael and Kensuke were my favourite people because first he was angry at Michael for setting up a fire and now they are friends playing football on the island saying GOALLL I would love to recommend this book to anyone and everyone

I am in love with this book! So adventurous. I like it when Michael made it back to his parents.

A great book!

I thought it was a very good book. I'm reading this at school

This book really kept my interest throughout the whole story. Friendship and trust was the key point of the story. My favourite character is Kensuke.

I really enjoyed this book - Michael's adventures at sea were so exciting and I learned so much from his descriptions and from his friendship with Kensuke. I would recommend this book to anyone - and Michael loves football too, just like me.

Re-read this brilliant story in one sitting. Love the way that Michael Morpurgo tells a fascinating fictional story but interweaves elements of historical fact too. Entertaining as well as educational.

I found this book very sad. But I did enjoy reading this.

I've read this during reading club at school.

I like Michael as he was so brave to live on an unknown island with a stranger for a month, and strongly believed his beloved family would come and rescue him.

I absolutely LOVED the book. It might seem a bit boring at first, but we had it as our class book this Literacy unit and I really loved it. It's about a 12 year old boy, Michael, who fell overboard while sailing around the world with his parents and pet dog, Stella. He was washed up on a deserted island and met a new friend. The book seemed very real, so a few people in my class were surprised when my teacher said it wasn't even based on a true story. Obviously, my favourite characters were Michael and Kensuke. I would really recommend reading it.

I realy liked this book as we read it as a class it was great I hope Michael makes a few more books

This was quite long and hard to read.

I rate this book a 3 because it has a good meaning and is well detailed, however it could be a bit more exciting. It is about a boy called Michael (obviously) and his family who go sailing around the world in their boat (The Peggy Sue). When, Michael encounters a terrible accident that separates him from the rest of the family, he struggles to survive with his only companion, his dog (Stella Artois). Unexpectedly, he meets a threatening man who seems scary at first, but then ends up as family.

An excellent fiction story as seen through the eyes of a twelve year old boy. He describes his life on the Pacific Ocean and then tells of his adventures being marooned on an island. I particularly liked the character of Kensuke as I could picture him quite clearly in my imagination. Morpurgo's words are like magic and seem to come alive on the page.

I really liked it and it was mysterious. I would recommend to read this book about this boy whose parents are poor and they have decided to live on the boat and then he falls off it. Read it to find out more!

it was a non fiction book and i liked kensuke . i would recommend it because it was very interasting

It was okay but to improve, it needs to be more picturesque and if you want to make it look sad, add some pictures to create an impact on how bad it was. Overall, the diary and the writing wasn’t too bad.

My favourite character was definitely Michael, as I feel that we are both rather similar, as he is very stubborn however is rather considerate towards Kensuke, the man who gives him sufficient appliances such as clean water and fresh food to survive. I would definitely recommend it to someone else as it is a very emotional book and has a very suitable yet emotional end.

Kensuke is the main character of this book. He is an old man who is kind and caring. He was a doctor during the war. He experiences traumatic experiences throughout his life and learns very valuable lessons.
This is a wonderful book.

This book is about a boy named Michael whose friend moves and Michael travels around the world with his family and fell overboard.

My favourite character is Kensuke as he healed Michael from being paralysed by the jellyfish.

I recommend this book for ages 9 - 12 and for people who like stories about ships.

I love this book because it was really exciting to read about Michael's travel on ship.
