Since my son will be reading Robinson Crusoe this coming year for English, I read this graphic novel to understand the main storyline . . .in under ten minutes!
Robinson yearns for adventure at sea, but his father, a wealthy merchant, forbids him. When his friend, Daniel, asks Robinson to join him on a quick voyage to London, Robinson agrees, without asking for his father's permission. This voyage only strengthens his thirst for adventure. Robinson then pursues any opportunity to venture into the sea and experiences many adventures.
Before the story begins, the author shares how Mr. Defoe based his novel on an actual man, Alexander Selkirk, a buccaneer who chose to live on a deserted island.
-Perfect for reluctant readers.
-Borrowed from the library.
