If you haven't read The Compound by S. A. Bodeen, you should! If you have read it, you already know how well the author writes and that The Raft will be an engaging, informative read. Although I like The Compound better, I would definitely recommend The Raft. Robie takes a supply plane from Honolulu, Hawaii where she had been staying with her aunt to her home on Midway Island. The plane goes down in a storm and Robie is forced into the role of survivor. Bodeen uses a most unorthodox vehicle to advance and complicate the plot (Max) and includes a plethora of information about albatross, sea life, and the little known northern Hawaiian Islands.
There's also a recipe for Better Than Anything cake.
