Description

The Swiss Family Robinson is a tale of a family torn from their home by a storm and left on a strange isle. A dad, a mom, and four sons brave the wild, work hard, and find ways to live. They build a home, farm the land, and learn to fish and hunt. As they explore the isle, they face wild beasts, storms, and hard times, but their love for one another and true grit help them through. Each son shows his skill and helps the group. From this tale, we learn about family, hope, and the will to fight through tough times. Set in a lush land full of danger and beauty, it speaks to the power of kinship and the joys of life in the wild. Lucy Aikin has made this story easy to read for all, while keeping the heart and soul of the tale alive.
