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?

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.

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 didn't let it tail off and become monatonoaus. I adored the idea of foes becoming friends because it has a moral - hate is a very strong word and sometimes we humans use to often to judge people.

As this it is a review i would comment that if you want a younger cild to understand it i would read it to them as a quantity of the language maybe hard for younger children to grasp.

Overall a magnificent novel and definately one i would reccomend to children and adults. Very enjoyable 9.99/10

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 begin to extremely warm my heart. I completely recommend this book for anyone, especially if you love a good captivating heart warming book. Micheal Morpurgo is an amazing author, and this book does him justice.

this book is great its the best book i hav ever read its great for young kids its quite a sad story in the end but i dont want to spoil it for you so i wont tel you wat happens

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 because they all just pull me into the book straight away. I don't think I ever will stop reading Michael Morpurgo books even when im older. There are no bad comments because the book is so good.

Great adjectives very emotional. It is the best book written! I can't find anything bad to say about it at all. I hope Michael Morpurgo writes more adventurous books.

I think that the book gets interesting sometimes, I just want to carry on reading impeccable! This book grabbed the readers atention.

I love fact books and this is just the book for me. It's got a good storyline, it's a very exiting book & it builds up from the start and then it all happens!
