July 17

This afternoon I was reading a book called Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpugo. It's about a boy who goes overboard in a storm, and ends up on an island with an elderly Japanese man called Kensuke.

Michael Morpugo writes so realistically, I feel like it all really happened. I love the addition of postscripts relating to the story, that make it seem so much more real. Another one of Morpugo's stories that I loved was called Running Wild, and that was also just fantastic, and seemingly factual.
