Today a friend of mine was asking about a book she read as a junior high student, she is having trouble remembering the name. I have never heard of it but she peaked my interest. Can anyone help us figure out what book this is:

Synopsis:
A man is stranded on an island with many others, they form a multi-cultural community and each have their own homes that are a representation of their country. The people take turns making and having diner at their homes all the while talking about their culture until they come up with a plan to rescue themselves. They are able to make some hot air balloons and find a way to use an erupting volcano to raise them off the island.

Any clue would be great, this is all my friend could remember, I have no clue but she says it was a really good book she read it several times but cannot remember the name or who wrote it.

HELP if you can (I will be posting this on more than one forum to try and get some help with this.)
Thanks! Debbie
