This is one of my favourite books. It's amazing. It starts off when the main hero, Ralph, goes to sea with his friends Peterkin and Jack. They get shipwrecked and find themselves stranded on a coral island.
The next bit of the story is how they survive. I will highlight three of my favourite adventures:
- there was a fight. Some natives come to the island and have a big battle. Peterkin, Jack and Ralph help.
- they find a cave under water
- they get covered in water at Spouting Cliff
They hunt pigs, battle with sharks, find a mysterious house and a cat and see a spooky creature. Then one day pirates come and take Ralph captive. Does Ralph join the pirates? Are they REALLY pirates? Does he see the island again? What will happen to him? Read on to find out!
My mum read this aloud to us. Some of the words are old-fashioned but mum explained them and we thought some of the expressions were really funny.

Coral Island is a magnificent classical tale. An adventure beyond imagination, the scene encurls itself around the reader and delivers them to distant enjoyment. This book is one I shall always reccomend. It entails three men on a momentous journey. Their encounters with pirates and indigeonous tribes are just a small fraction of the many adventures that embrace them regularly, and questions if their desolate tropical island is realy a safe haven?
