My eight year was very impressed with Kensuke's Kingdom and asked me to read it too. She was right - it's a short book but a big, generous story.

'Kensuke’s Kingdom' is a magnificent contemporary odyssey full of discovery, and adventure. The story's realistic situation and powerful plot drew me right into the book. As the plot thickens, the story becomes very thought-provoking both to main character and reader. A dazzling adventure of a boy's voyage of discovery, 'Kensuke’s Kingdom' makes for a very enjoyable read.

I reread this book because it was my favourite in secondary school. I read it two or three times then. How glad I am to have decided to read it again with an older more mature mind. God this is such a beautiful story. Of kinship, humanity, war, literally everything. There are so many layers and I truly think it’s enjoyable for any one of any age. You fall in love with Kensuke and feel for him deeply. The paradise of Kensukes kingdom sounds like a wonder.
I love this book and will always hold it dear.
