Setting
At the beginning of my book 4 kids
were on a boat called the "Lucky
Star." Then their boat washed away to
an abandoned island where the kids
trived to survive for as long as they
could.
Theme
The theme or
message in my
story is sticking
together and
learning to live
as a family.
It was brought out in
the book by the story
being about 4 kids,
who's parents got
married. The 4 kids are
sent on a boat trip to get
to know each other
better. When the boat
crashed and it was only
to 4 kids together
without parental
guidance, they had to
learn to get along and
work together to survive
Main Conflict
This was caused by a big storm.
The storm destroyed their boat
and washed away the 4 siblings'
uncle and friend. That left them to
live with nature with no one older
than 13.
The main conflict of
this story is surviving
without much food or
water for 4 kids. At
times when they
couldn't find food or
water all they had was
each other.
