The Island Trilogy: Book 1 Shipwreck by Gordon Korman *****

The first book in the Island trilogy is Shipwreck (two thumbs up if you already know the name) which is about six kids on a court sentence to a punishment server called Chartering a New Course (CNC) where they are the main crew aboard  a ship called the Phoenix. When the ship sinks after a storm the captain is washed overboard and the mate deserts the kids the kids must survive a slowly sinking ship.

I recommend this book for anyone who likes a adventure book.
