Petit-Chocobo (petitchocobo) | 13 comments Hey guys! I'm looking for a good cast away sort of story! :) for example: plane crash in the ocean, people get to try and survive on this deserted island! Any idea?
Thanks for the help!


Algernon (Darth Anyan) | 78 comments It's probba;y not exactly what you want, but one of my childhood favorites is by Jules Verne, about a group of students marooned on an island in the South Pacific: "The Two Years Holiday" It might be hard to found though.

If you like science-fiction, I really enjoyed Dark Eden by Chris Becket, about the survivors of a crash on an alien planet.

Sarah Williamson  (bookstackreviews) | 34 comments Beauty queens by Libby bray is really more of a satire ish castaway story, but it's hilarious and I loved it.

Algernon (Darth Anyan) | 78 comments last suggestion made me think of the classic Lord of the Flies by William Goldman.

Jaye On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves.
I think there is more than one book but I read only this one so far. It's the plane crash - end up on an island theme. I enjoyed it's story of dealing long term with what you are presented.

Jaye I know of a couple of intentional castaway books.
Meaning the people put themselves on an island on purpose and the books are the account of that.
I haven't read them, but here they are:
Castaway Castaway by Lucy Irvine

and
An Island to Oneself: The Story of Six Years on a Desert Island An Island to Oneself The Story of Six Years on a Desert Island by Tom Neale
