Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World by Joan Druett
3.5
β€œπ‘―π’–π’π’ˆπ’†π’“ π’Šπ’” π’„π’†π’“π’•π’‚π’Šπ’π’π’š 𝒂 π’ˆπ’π’π’… 𝒔𝒂𝒖𝒄𝒆.”

(I gotta admit, I thought there would be more cannibalism)

Read this for:
⛡️ the true tale of how two concurrent shipwrecked crews marooned on the opposite sides of the same desolate, hostile, subantarctic island have wildly different experiences
🧼 an incredibly well researched account of remarkable ingenuity in the face of extreme crisis and vastly contrasting leadership/collaboration styles (and the consequences of each)
🦭 soooo much seal & sea lion killing


If you like survival accounts, maritime tales, and stories about the power of the human spirit, resilience, and strength of working together, even in the face of unimaginable horrors… this one will *float your boat*
