The author of more than a hundred books, Michael Morpurgo lives on a quiet farm in Devon and, by his own admission, tells his horses and dogs before putting his stories on paper. In most of his books, animals have a very important role to play. Making them heroes of his adventure works, the author talks about the defenseless beauty and fragility of the world, its dependence on human participation and compassion. With each story, Michael Morpurgo argues that true humanity rests on two pillars mercy and the power of the spirit. This humanistic message permeates all the books of the writer, continuing the traditions of great English literature, laid down by Dickens and Kipling. After losing his job, Michael's parents decide to change their lives and go on a trip around the world on a yacht. The whole family, including a dog named Stella Artois It begins as a wonderful family adventure, and everything goes exactly as it was dreamed, until one night Michael and Stella are overboard. Thrown ashore on an island lost in the Pacific Ocean, the boy and his dog desperately try to survive and escape. And one day Michael discovers that he is not the only person on the island.
