WILD MAN ISLAND

This exciting young adult tale is the reminiscence of 14-year-old Andy Galloway. While on a kayaking trip in Alaska, he sets off to a nearby island, where his father perished in a tragic accident several years before. After visiting the spot, an unexpected gale washes him ashore on Admiralty Island. Here, he struggles desperately to survive, finding help from a feral dog and a hermit. This suspenseful tale will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. De Ocampo superbly reads this tale; his voice has a juvenile quality that perfectly matches the text. M.T.F.
