WAGOLL.
At the start of the story, we meet Michael, his mum, his dad and his dog (Stella Artois). Following the loss of their jobs, Michael’s parents
decide to go on a sailing adventure around the world on their boat named ‘Peggy Sue’. The family visited many different amazing places on
their journey including Africa, Rio and Brazil, until one day, disaster struck – Michael and Stella Artois fell overboard! They were washed
up on an island covered with thick forest, which was inhabited by various tropical animals and a mysterious old man. (Kensuke)

Michael how to paint. Kensuke finally revealed how he had been on board a
Japanese warship in World War 2 when he heard on the radio that Nagasaki
(his hometown) had been destroyed by an atomic bomb. He explained that his
ship was attacked by the Americans - he was the only survivor and had been
living in solitude on the island ever since.
Michael understood that Kensuke was deeply distrustful of people as a result of his experiences but still tried to send a rescue message to
the outside world. When Kensuke discovered what Michael had done, he was upset. However, Kensuke understood that Michael had his
whole life in front of him and so forgave him. A group of men arrived on the island to shoot the animals. Kensuke and Michael hid in a cave
and protected the orangutans until it was safe.

and promised to not tell anyone about Kensuke for ten years. Michael and his parents were reunited, and he kept his promise to Kensuke
