This middle reader book is slightly silly, at times poignant and serious, and definitely full of adventure. Join Grandfather (our protagonist, and his happy-go-lucky hound Roo as they voyage on their newly purchased used ship the Unsinkable. When the inevitable happens (the ship sinks...) and they land on a seemingly deserted island, a comedy of errors plays out to the final satisfaction of everyone.
This book is one of a quartet by Henry Horse. The others are:
The Last Gold Diggers;
The Last Cowboys; and
The Last Polar Bears
I recommend
The Last Castaways to 2nd-5th graders.
This book is available to Greensboro Day School students and families from our Lower School Library.
