This is a very fast, good read as a Kindle Single.  The story is true.  Three boys, 14, 15 and 15, get into trouble through the usual methods alcohol and adolescent bravado.  American boys would steal a car.  These lads from the small island of Atafu in the Pacific nation of Tokelau which is actually a territory of New Zealand steal a boat.  And in the tradition of silliness demonstrated by boys through the ages set out to sea which could only end in disaster.  This is a story that well illustrates what happens to human beings in extremis.  Short, to the point, I gave it a five because it was, to me, absorbing.  I didn't stop reading until I had finished it.  I imagine you will not stop either.
