Summary: "The Island Queen" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the late 19th century. This adventurous tale of survival is set in the Southern Ocean and follows the trials of the Rigonda family, particularly the siblings Dominick, Pauline, and Otto, as they navigate the challenges of being shipwrecked on a desolate island. The story captures their struggle against starvation, their resourcefulness in the face of danger, and their indomitable spirit as they seek rescue. At the start of the book, the Rigonda siblings find themselves adrift in a small boat after a shipwreck, battling starvation while clinging to hope.
