Wyss, Johann. The Swiss Family Robinson. New York: Baronet Books, 1990. 239 pages. (Survival Fiction)
I read the book The Swiss Family Robinson, and I would recommend this book to anyone; it’s one of my favorite books so far because of all the adventures they go through as a family. The main characters in the story are Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Robinson, (Elizabeth), Fritz (15), Jack (13), Ernest (11), and Francis (8). Their ship crashes off course into a rock when they’re on their way to an island near New Guinea. They see land and come up with a way to get there. Now they need to survive untill help arrives. Overall, it’s a very interesting book, their family faced many problems together, which made their family stronger than it was before.
This is one of those books that you would want to share with your family and friends because it has to do with a family going through problems together on a stranded island. It’s very interesting how they face their problems. The strange part is that when you read the book, and they’re going through all these problems, they’re calm and make everything seem so easy and relaxed. I think it might be that way because the point of view is from the father, who is always supposed to be the strong and courageous one.
