ROBINSON CRUSOE (DANIEL DEFOE)

 


Robinson Crusoe tells the story of a young man who gets stranded on a desert island of the coast of South America. This book describes all the difficulties he faces during his stay on the island. I have heard that this book is based on the real-life adventures of Alexander Selkirk, who was abandoned on an island of the coast of Chile only to be rescued 4 and a half years later. The story revolves around how he survives, pitches up shelters and safety stores, does farming and other things necessary to stay alive.

Robinson Crusoe is a very good novel for it has a mixed genre- it has pirates, Cannibals, a desert island, and a shipwreck. He faces many problems like storms, earthquakes, food, water, and shelter. This book describes how he overcame those problems.

 This book will be loved by children who have begun reading large chapter books. Thus, I recommend it to children of age 9+.

THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★☆☆
