Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13496 ratings)

Description:The scene is set off the coast of Central America, where a young boy shipwrecks on an island and has to fend for himself with no one there to show him what to do or how to survive. Essentially the same story as the original Robinson Crusoe, Samuel B. Allison's book takes children and younger teenagers on a journey from disobedience to self-discipline and from coping with the inadequacies of childhood to becoming a self-sufficient adult.The plot tells the tale of a young teenage boy who, against his parents' better wishes, sets off for adventure on a marine voyage and comes across a ravaging storm that none of his shipmates survive. Alone, hungry, but also young and strong, our hero ends up on a deserted island where he spends the next 28 years of his life. Like in Daniel Defoe's original story, he also befriends a "native" of the island, and they become inseparable companions.Now, Samuel B. Allison wrote An American Robinson Crusoe as far more than just a tale of adventure out at sea. Written both for children to enjoy at home and for schoolteachers to use as a learning aid, the book is extremely resourceful in teaching its younger readers about the crucial importance of items that most of us come to take for granted as we grow older. A good example is the passage where the boy tries to learn how to make fire, an essential skill for his survival, especially when the colder period of the year arrives.Allison's An American Robinson Crusoe is a book that has it all - including adventure, excitement and a good dose of information about the most essential items of the time, how they were initially made and how the main protagonist found ways to make them more easily accessible in the poor conditions he found himself in. The story will definitely appeal to the younger readership, and even parents may join in to learn a thing or two from the American Robinson's adventures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
