When they reach the island they are in the middle of nowwhere.The teens are stranded here and do not know what to do and all they have to eat are banana's and coconut's. About 1 week into the trip that was supposed to be the teens discovered that there was a group of men that where coming to the island and met and then left on the planes. they soon figured out that the men were smuggling drugs into the country.At the end of this book the teens are trying to get rid of any evedence that they were on this island. The Smugglers brought a dog on this island because they saw some of the foot prints in the beach sand.
The setting of this story is on a island 500 miles from guam. the setting is very well described
In order to read this book you should have read the very first book. If you dont you may be lost in this book.
I rate this book a 9 because it is a little slow but it is very well described.

Island by Gordon Korman
Imagine sailing on a dreadful boat in the middle of the humongous Pacific Ocean, when suddenly something horrible happens! Next thing you know you are on a cabin top with four of your friends alone with terrifying sharks! When you read this book remember to hold on because it's going to be a bumpy ride!
There they knew they were sailing on a cabin top for 7 days and finally when the 7th day came they were stuck, stranded on a island with no food or water besides rain, coconuts and these fruit that made them sick to there stomach. They had no were to go nothing to see, but the question is will anyone ever come?
One thing I like about this book is how the author drags you into the story through the many details. For example, the author uses powerful words such as "shrieking," and you're able to hear the character's panic through the language he uses. I also like how he says, "This time he wouldn't stop crying till sleep claimed him." This language relaxes readers, then suddenly the word "Slam!" appears in the beginning of the subsequent chapter. Also, he writes, "Four orange life jackets came sailing down" I just love how he says orange and sailing because it's so detailed and I can see everything in my mind.
It's really amazing how the author compares the characters because at very first they hated each other. They barely knew each other and wouldn't even sleep in the same room! However, when the boat sank, they all helped each other and they acted like they were brother and sister which made it fun and entertaining to read.
As you read you hope they make it home safe and sound but something else could happen! They could get bit by a shark or starve to death and die! To find out, read books one, two, and three.

The second book of the trilogy, the young survivors of the shipwreck in Book One end up on an apparently deserted island very far from anything. They're alive, but the beginning four have one member who is delusional as a result of the traumas of getting from the shipwreck to the island, and three who work in terrific cohesion to establish life-sustaining routines. The characters are good, as in the very first book, but the island lends itself to better imagery without the burden of maritime vocabulary of the very first book. As in the very first book, a considerable amount of toleration for wildly unlikely occurances is necessary. It turns out that the island is not as deserted as the four think, and they witness crimes, deal with wild animals and general survival, and confront evidence of human occupation of the island in the past, among other things that strain credibilitly. Assuming that one overlooks these strains, and Korman makes it easy for the reader to do so, the book is good fun, maybe more enjoiyable for an upper elementary reader than the very first book and it can be read independent of that very first one.

I liked this book because it was pretty short and a good story. The best part, I think was when the dog and boar were fighting. The worst part was when the bad guy shot Will. I also liked the part when they got out of the hut before the bad guys saw them.
My favorite character is Ian. I like him because he always knows what to do because he sat in front of The Discovery Channel all day. I don't really like J.J. because he thought all of those bad things were supposed to happen. He thought CNC planned it. This was a good book.
