Review: A hugely enjoyable and stellar read from beginning to end! - This book first came to my attention when I was in the cinema and saw the film adaptation being advertised and as well as thinking that the movie looked good I thought the book sounded like a good one to read. When I heard that Michael Morpurgo was the author I was sold on it as I knew he was a great author and had read The Butterfly Lion when I was at school. I'm glad I gave this a go as I really enjoyed it and found myself glued to it! I also found it to be very emotional but it was an excellent story and one well worth reading! I'd recommend this to anyone (no matter what age) to read this if they haven't yet done so. Review: An amazing book! - Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. Kensuke's Kingdom is an amazing book, full of adventure, fear and all different emotions that you will experience when reading. When Michael and his family decide to set off on an adventure to sail around the world it starts off brilliantly. But after their curious dog, Stella Artois falls off the boat a couple of times, it all goes downhill. Michael suddenly ends up washed up on a desert island with Stella. But he is not alone. Could he be in Kensuke's Kingdom? The book is an adventure story that kids will love. I recommend this book for 9-15 year olds. 6 out of 6 children from Braehead Primary School have loved reading it and gave it a score of 9/10. It is a fantastic book overall and I thoroughly recommend it. Look out for the best bits where Kensuke and Michael start to bond, it made me really want to read on. Primary 7 Pupil. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1405281790 | | Best Sellers Rank | 46,997 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 68 in PC Games | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,132) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 1.4 x 19.7 cm | | ISBN-10 | 9781405281799 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1405281799 | | Item weight | 170 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | 28 July 2016 | | Publisher | Farshore | | Reading age | 8 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![Kensuke's Kingdom (Modern Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nKNzW-+XL.jpg) ![Kensuke's Kingdom (Modern Classics) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51H-QrYMyvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hugely enjoyable and stellar read from beginning to end! *by K***R on 16 January 2026* This book first came to my attention when I was in the cinema and saw the film adaptation being advertised and as well as thinking that the movie looked good I thought the book sounded like a good one to read.

Primary 7 Pupil. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by A***R on 26 February 2021* Michael's parents were made redundant and his Dad decided to sell their car and house and buy a boat instead. Michael left his friends behind and travelled the world on the boat with his parents and their dog Stella. One night there was a huge storm and Michael and Stella fell into the water and he was stung by a jellyfish and hurt. Michael and Stella washed up on an island. One man called Kensuke lived there. Kensuke used to a doctor then went to war. When an atomic bomb dropped on his home in Japan and his wife and child was killed he decided to live by himself on the island. Kensuke looked after Michael until he was well enough to wake up. Kensuke and Michael learnt a lot from each other and spent time painting, fishing and looking after the animals on the island. Michael's parents think that him and Stella have died, they search for them and one day find them. I thought that Kensuke would get on the boat with them but he didn't. I thought the book was very interesting, I liked hearing about the animals and to imagine what life on an island would be like. The main characters in the book are Michael, Michael's Mum and Dad, Kensuke and Stella the dog. Stella the dog was my favourite. She was very loyal to Michael and also loved Kensuke. I love dogs too. I enjoyed reading the book. My favourite was when Michael was reunited with his parents, it was a very happy moment in the book for the whole family but I felt sad that Kensuke chose to stay behind. I think there is a chance his wife and child are still alive. I didn't like it when the killer men came to the island and killed the two mother gibbons. It was very frightening and tragic. I would recommend this book to my friends and family. There is a lot of drama and the writing is very descriptive so it allows you to imagine what the characters are going through. ## Frequently Bought Together - Egmont Kensuke's Kingdom - Oxford Primary Dictionary - Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/305794593-kensukes-kingdom-modern-classics](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/305794593-kensukes-kingdom-modern-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
