Jules Verne's The Adventures of the Fifteen (original title Two Years' Vacation, also translated as Strange Adventures on an Island and others) tells the story of fifteen students aged eight to fourteen who set sail for a summer trip but are shipwrecked on an uninhabited island to enrich their summer life. To survive, the boys organize themselves, elect a leader, and all members bravely endure hardships. Although conflicts and splits arise among them, they ultimately unite to conquer the perilous environment and external invaders, returning home with the glory and joy of victory.
