“Fantastic book for all!”
Written on: 26/03/2013 by Misscollard (1 review written)
Where to start? This book is one of my favourite books of all Michael morpurgo books. It leads you with great suspense, I can't put it down for more than 5minutes. If you like adventurous books with lots of emotion then this is the book for you. I recommend it for ages 7 and over. A boy called Michael was washed up on a deserted island....or was it? (read more)
“Insipred my career!”
Written on: 13/02/2013 by Papa_Lush (18 reviews written)
I read this book multiple times as a child and it made me cry at the end every time. It actually inspired my fascination with English and I am currently intending to do a degree at university in Creative Writing. It all originated from this book and I still, as an adult, would happily read it once more. Thank you Michael Morpurgo. Signed, Papa Lush. (read more)

I just finished Michael Morpurgo's classic Kensukes Kingdom! I had started to read it in school but never got the chance to finish it so when i glanced upon it between the Halewood Libary shelf i decided straight away I would check it out. Since i have not been able to put it down reading until a late time of night...
The story immediately grasped my interest from the first page. The author did a really good job of not juming into the story to soon and when he did get into the story he...

“Kensukes Kingdom, is my alltime favourite read. I...”
Written on: 19/04/2010
Kensukes Kingdom, is my alltime favourite read. I first read it when I was about 11, and 4 years on the book never fails to keep me reading. I could sit for hours on a sunny day in my garden just hearing about Micheal's tales and the friendship he made with Kensuke. Micheal Morpurgo has wrote this book fantastically, and I couldn't have praised it anymore. It is one of the only books I have ever been able to get connected too that I actually feel the emotions of the characters and the events... (read more)

“Kensukes Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo draws you into...”
Written on: 03/02/2009 by Jaidan (1 review written)
Kensukes Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo draws you into the book after the first 5 or 6 pages. My teacher read it to us as a class and as soon as we had finished i got it again but as a library book. I got it on a Thursday and was so engrossed in the book that i had read 79 pages by the following Monday. When we have silent reading I finish the page but want to read so much more. I love to read books by Michael Morpurgo. Three of my favourite books are Cool!, Born To Run and Kensuke's Kingdom... (read more)

Written on: 25/05/2007 by nickisparkle
Kensukes Kingdom is one of Morpurgo's best novels for children. While it is, on the surface, an exciting modern-day Robinson Crusoe which will appeal particularly to unwilling boy readers, the story of a boy and his dog washed up upon an apparently uninhabited tropical island, it is also a beautiful and sensitive portrait of friendship, loss and loyalty. I defy anybody to read the final chapter and epilogue without weeping from genuine heartache! The language used is wonderful without... (read more)
