«Le royaume de Kensuké» is the adventure novel by Michael Morpurgo, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Michael travels with his parents and his dog Stella on a sailboat around the world; when he falls overboard, he wakes up on a Pacific island that seems deserted. Soon he realises that someone leaves him food and water: it is Kensuké, an elderly Japanese man who lives there, with whom he forges a friendship that helps him survive.
French translation by Diane Ménard, with illustrations by François Place. Work originally published as «Kensuke's Kingdom» in 1999.
For readers aged 10 to 14 interested in stories of survival and friendship, within children's and young adult literature.

His work is noted for its "magical storytelling", for recurring themes such as the triumph of an outsider or survival, for characters' relationships with nature, and for vivid settings such as the Cornish coast or the trenches of the First World War. Morpurgo was the third Children's Laureate, from 2003 to 2005, and is President of BookTrust, a children's reading charity.
