They become really good friends, and one day Wil finds and island that he likes very much and he later descides that he wants to live there for a while and try to learn about everything out there, however nobody can get him off the island because he likes it so much and this makes his mom worried and his dad angry. One day, he sees someone spying on him from the mainland and he finds out that it is his dad. When they meet and apologize to each other, Wil asks his parents if they would like to spend some time with him on the island.
The story took place on a small island in a lake called Sucker Lake in Maypine, Wisconsin during the summer.
I liked this book because it was well written and it was a good story. It made you want to keep reading it. I liked it most of all because it was written by my favorite author, Gary Paulsen.
I would recommend this book to someone that likes adventure stories and books written by Gary Paulsen.
