«El regne de Kensuke» is the children's and young adult novel by Michael Morpurgo, published by RBA Molino in hardcover (160 pages, in Catalan).
Michael falls overboard from a sailboat during a storm in the Pacific and wakes up on a seemingly deserted island. With no food or water, he feels lost, but soon discovers that someone leaves him food and a container of fresh water. He is not alone, and from that encounter the novel explores survival, friendship and trust between two very different people.
The book was originally published as Kensuke's Kingdom in 1999; this Catalan edition, from the Juvenil Català collection, includes illustrations by Michael Foreman.
For children and young adult readers looking for stories of adventure, travel and survival.
