Island Queen

by R. M. Ballantyne

Island Queen is a story about three siblings, Dominic, Otto, and Pauline Rigonda, who are shipwrecked on an island. They are later joined by the immigrant passengers and crew of a ship that is also wrecked on the island. Together, they form a colony and choose a queen to lead them. The colony faces many challenges, including internal dissensions and an attack by savages. However, they work together to improve the island and create a new home for themselves. Eventually, the colony encounters natural forces that they cannot resist, and the queen and her family return to England. Island Queen is a story of adventure, survival, and the power of community.
