Books Like Shipwrecked
Why kids love Shipwrecked
A protagonist who says the wrong thing
Children respond to Junie B. Jones because she says the unfiltered and sometimes impolite thoughts that they are usually told to keep to themselves.
High energy comedic pacing
The narrative moves at a frantic and hilarious speed that captures the way a seven year old experiences a vacation gone wrong.
Relatable frustration with adult rules
Readers will find comfort in seeing Junie B. struggle with the gap between her big vacation dreams and the annoying reality of following directions.
A unique first person voice
The use of phonetic spelling and creative grammar makes the reader feel like they are reading the secret diary of a real peer rather than a book written by an adult.
