Book review: "Wild Man Island" by Will Hobbs

Imagine being stranded on an island in Alaska with nothing except your clothes and your wits. As the days go by, your hunger begins to sap all your strength and you begin to eat all kinds of things you never thought of. Scary.

Now imagine that you are only 14 years old. Will Hobbs has written a compelling story about survival and exploration from the viewpoint of 14 year old Andy Galloway.

Andy encounters bears, wolves, sea lions, and even Orca whales. He then finds a strange wild man living off the island with a mysterious past.

A perfect book for those who love the outdoors, wildlife, kayaking, and cave exploration. Clean story with no profanity or violence.

Genre: Adventure fiction

Age recommendation: 12+
