The Island is by Gordon Korman. The Island is actually a series of three realistic fiction books: Shipwreck, Survival, and Escape. Six teenagers are sent away to "Charting a New Course", a program for troubled teens where they spend a month learning to sail off the coast of Guam. They are supposed to learn teamwork and straighten their lives out. They end up shipwrecked on a "deserted" island and have to learn to survive. These are very good books. It's interesting to watch each of the kids grow up and step up to help the group. Really hard to put down once you start.
Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
