Life of Pi is the incredible story of Piscine, a small Indian boy, whose aquatic name becomes incredibly relevant as his familys ship sinks on route to Canada. Written by Yann Martel, this hugely original story is full of amazing twists that see Pi encounter some horrendous difficulties and battle for survival amidst a series of strange occurrences. Entertaining and enjoyable, while also being a moving exploration of loss, determination and spirituality, this is fantastically unique reading.
