Illustrated by
Vin Vogel.
Two vacationing boys rent a sailboat, get lost, and are shipwrecked in a storm. Tightly wound Bob worries while laidback Joss goes with the flow. Details in the cartoonlike illustrations (as well as handy GPS coordinates) eventually confirm that they've landed on their original resort island. Humor stems from the situation, the boys' opposite approaches to life, and their lively dialogue.
