Query: It was exciting throughout the middle and end of the book.

I thought the book was a little slow in the beginning, but became exciting when the ship was sunk and Timothy, Stew Cat, and Phillip were on the little wooden raft. It got even more exciting when they were stranded on the island.I learned from the book that you can't always do everything yourself, but you need to rely on other people for help sometimes.
