Wild Man Island

Have you ever been trapped on an island in the middle of no where and had no chance live of living? Fourteen year old, Andy Galloway was on the last of his kayaking trip in southeast Alaska. Andy decides at 2:45 a.m. to go off from his group to a site where his father, an archeologist died trying to solve a mystery about the first Americans when Andy about five years old. When, he got caught in an ocean storm and gets washed onto an island in Alaska. Andy running for his life as he battles a wild man, dogs and bears trying to get off the island. This is a great book that I would suggest to people who like stories about islands, adventure, and mystery.

Wild Man Island - Pure Adventure!

Even though this book is targeted for young/teen readers, it is an excellent adventure story for anyone to enjoy. While it's not my favorite book, it is one of the best adventure stories I've ever read. If you crave adventure, & want to enjoy a great story, don't let the fact that this is a "youth reader" type book dissuade you from reading this one; its a grand adventure!
