The Wreck of the Zanzibar Summary

The Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo

A sweeping story of danger, adventure and the high seas. From the nation's favourite storyteller, Michael Morpurgo.

We all knew what was going to happen. We'd seen it before. A ship about to founder staggers before she falls. A huge wave broke over her stern and she did not come upright again.

Life on the Scilly Isles in 1907 is bleak and full of hardship. Laura's twin brother, Billy, disappears, and then a storm devastates everything. It seems there's little hope. But then the Zanzibar is wrecked on the island's rocks, and everything changes ...

The Wreck of the Zanzibar is a sea-swept story of storms, shipwrecks and survival ... and a family tossed in the centre of it all. From the author of War Horse.

Michael Morpurgo has written more than one hundred books for children and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.
