Castaways of the Flag
Castaways of the Flag
Long after the Robinson family first washed ashore on their deserted island, a British corvette arrives at what the settlers now call New Switzerland. The Unicorn brings Mr. and Mrs. Wolston and their daughters Hannah and Dolly, but it also separates a new generation of castaways. When the ship departs, Fritz and Frank Zermatt, Jenny Montrose, and young Dolly must leave behind the only world they've known, bound for distant England. Yet some remain. The island claims others still, binding families together and tearing them apart across oceans. This sequel to the beloved Swiss Family Robinson asks what happens after survival: when the ship comes, do you board it? Verne builds his adventure around the tension between belonging and departure, between the familiar shore and the unknown horizon. The castaways who stay and those who leave both face an uncertain future. For readers who ever wondered what came after the Robinson family's first years of ordeal, this novel offers an answer wrapped in the same spirit of resilience and discovery that made its predecessor a cornerstone of adventure literature.
