An unusual book. A boy and his family set of to Canada, but after a storm he is thrown into a lifeboat with a collection of animals to roam the seas. But life isn't easy in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to eat, nd nothing to eat it with.

Humour, a well as a mix of adventure. It is a strange but thrilling combination of adventures of an rare character.

How the author manages to turn life on a lifeboat, into a compelling novel that couldn't bore a person if it tried. It took me two goes to read it, and that's not a reflection of its length!

Sometimes it was a bit unrealistic, but afterwards I looked back on it, and realised a book is a book, not a biography.

It is again diffrent from other books, I've mentioned before I tend to be a magnet to books like this, and here's another example.

My mum passed this book onto me, and even as the slowest reader in the universe, it did only take her 2 months to finish this one.
