ISLAND Book One: Shipwreck

In the first book in an adventure trilogy by popular YA author Korman, six young people have been enrolled in a boating program called Chart a New Course, some because of trouble with the law, some because of emotional or social problems. When a storm washes the captain overboard and destroys the boat and the first mate deserts with the lifeboat and most of the food, survival depends on the kids learning to work together. Holter Graham narrates with a hint of urgency and understated excitement. He has complete control of his voice, using tone, tempo, and timbre to help listeners identify and know each of the characters. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
