The castaways of the flag

About this book

When a small group of castaways finds refuge on a remote shore with nothing but a battered flag and scant provisions, their struggle to survive becomes an inventive odyssey of courage and cooperation. Stripped of civilization, they must improvise shelter, tame the island's wilds, contend with shortages and moral dilemmas, and transform raw surroundings into the tools of their endurance—Verne treating every makeshift invention and tactical risk with the same avid curiosity he lends to his grander voyages. Richly imagined, briskly paced, and suffused with human warmth, The Castaways of the Flag is a stirring tale of resourcefulness and hope that keeps readers gripped without ever losing sight of its tender, character-driven heart.
