Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World by Joan Druett

4.0

---

This is a stunning survival story. I had never heard of the Grafton or Invercauld shipwrecks, but I'm grateful Joan Druett brought these epic tales to life. It is truly astonishing how two shipwrecks could happen simultaneously on the same island with such drastically different results. The amount of grit, courage, and ingenuity Musgrave's crew utilized to get through such a harrowing experience made my head spin. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys the survival and adventure genre.
