kensuke’s kingdom

Michael’s mum and dad were working in the brickworks when their boss closed the factory down.

Then Michael’s dad bought a boat called the PEGGY SUE.

Their mum was made skipper of the boat and started their journey.

PEGGY SUE

They set off out of the harbour and started their journey around the world.

Michael's friend gave him a football to remember him and he held the football when the storms were horrific.

Water water everywhere!

On the 11th October 1987 they saw Africa and were going down the west coast and saw flying fish.

Then they visited Recife in Brazil and then went to Rio. They visited Africa and went to Cape Town.

The ships log

On a misty, stormy night , the Peggy sue sailed through the rough seas and Michael is in the cabin with Stella Artois. They went out to see the storm when a raging wave splashed up over the boat and Michael and Stella fell in. He cried for help but they couldn't hear him. The boat sailed away into the rough waves leaving him in the ocean. Then he gets washed up on an island and ran into the forest.

GIBBONS AND GHOSTS

Then the next morning he saw what looked like an orang-utan but when it got closer it was and old, frail man with copper brown skin and a long white beard. He was putting out the fire and shouting, DAMEDA!DAMEDA!GO,BOY DAMEDA! waving his stick angrily.

I,kensuke

Michael just saw a massive oil tanker on the horizon of the sea. But after yelling at the top of his voice until his mouth was dry. Then Michael was determined to make a massive beacon and light it to signal a ship. He thought it maybe might come and pick him up to find the Peggy Sue.

Abunai!

All that silence said Michael gets stung by a jellyfish but Kensuke

decides to save him and drag Michael into his very house worthy cave. When Michael woke up he saw Kensuke dabbing some water onto his body and Stella was beside him and licked him in the ear.

Michael and Kensuke go out to sea to catch bigger fish as the shallow water had no fish in it. Kensuke when they stopped to fish he told Michael about how he found the ball and how he had all the supplies.

Everyone dead in Nagasaki

Michael had sent a message in a coke bottle he found to anybody who could see it. After he sent it out he saw Stella holding a glass coke bottle with a message in it. When Kensuke looked at it Michael knew straight away that Kensuke already knew what it was. Kensuke just looked at him and Michael knew that it hurt him. That night there was a terrible silence between Kensuke and Michael so he used to walk along the beach with Stella and hoped when he came back Kensuke would forgive him.

THE NIGHT OF THE TURTLES

Kensuke and Michael hid in their cave for days. Then after they went they make a beacon lit it and then they saw the Peggy Sue. It was a rainy day and Stella was furiously barking on top of the hill until Michael realised that Stella was barking at a boat. Then the boat stopped at the shore and men came with spears. Michael and Kensuke gathered the orang-utans and hid in the cave until the men went.

The killer men come

The End
