Moving from just plain Island to this disambiguated one, since Literature.Island 1962 now exists.
Added DiffLines:
A adventure trilogy by Creator/GordonKorman.
Composed of:
# ''Shipwreck'' (2000)
# ''Survival'' (2001)
# ''Escape'' (2001)
Or re-released as the {{Omnibus}}, "Island Trilogy Bind-Up Book", in 2006. Also called "Island Trilogy Special Edition", among other names.
Six kids, ages 11 to 14, all have some issue or problem in their past, leading them to a three-week sailing boot camp called Charting a New Course to teach them teamwork, self-respect, and how to raise sails.
Things quickly go awry when their captain goes overboard, the first mate abandons them, the boat sinks, and they end up marooned on an island and are forced to live off the land, alone.
Or are they? What if the other group on the island is more dangerous than leaving it?
!Tropes In this Work Include:
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Siblings, not romantically. Lyssa when she finds out Will is missing, and again after [[spoiler:he gets shot.]]
* CrazyEnoughToWork: The plan for getting off the island.
* DesertedIsland: Type II.
* FloralThemeNaming: Siblings Will and Lyssa were named after the flowers Sweet William and Sweet Alyssum.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each of the books in the trilogy have a OneWordTitle:
** ''Shipwreck''
** ''Survival''
** ''Escape''
* OnlySaneMan: Luke feels like this while on the S.S. Phoenix.
* OneWordTitle: Mixed with IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming. Each of the books in the trilogy:
** ''Shipwreck''
** ''Survival''
** ''Escape''
* PrecisionFStrike: The kids normally avoided cursing, so hearing J.J. rant about "sleepaway camp for the damned" was rather jarring.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The whole gang.
* RealityEnsues:
** In the 3rd book, [[spoiler: J.J. gets captured by the smugglers to make sure he can contact his dad while they have him hostage. He eventually realises that even though they're getting a large ransom, they wouldn't let someone who knows that they kidnapped a famous kid live.]]

* SiblingRivalry: Will and Lyssa. A fist fight resulting in a broken nose and cracked ribs are what landed them here in the first place.
* SomedayThisWillComeInHandy: The reason Ian watched so much TV. It does, in fact, come in handy many times.
* SpoiledBrat: J.J.
* SpoilerCover: Lyssa and J.J. are [[spoiler: presumed dead]] after the first book, but they [[spoiler: are still pictured on the cover]] of the second and third books.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: J.J. with everybody, but especially Luke and, to some extent, Charla.
