About the Book
The Coral Island by R. Ballantyne is an adventurous and captivating tale of survival, exploration, and the thrill of discovery. When three young sailors, Ralph, Jack, and Peterkin, are stranded on an uninhabited island after a violent storm, they must quickly learn to adapt in order to stay alive. From hunting and fishing to exploring underwater caves and building boats, the boys create a life for themselves in their island paradise. But their peaceful existence is soon interrupted by the arrival of pirates, turning their adventure into a battle for survival.

Written by Robert Michael Ballantyne, who drew inspiration from his own experiences with the Hudson Bay Fur Company, The Coral Island has been a beloved adventure story since its first publication in 1857. This timeless classic continues to captivate readers of all ages.
