What to expect
When a forty-seven-foot sailboat disappears in the Gulf Stream in the throes of a disastrous storm, it leaves behind three weary passengers struggling to stay alive. This middle-grade adaptation of an adult nonfiction book tells the story of the four intrepid Coast Guardsmen who braved this ruthless storm in the hopes of saving them. A spellbinding tale of courage and survival from the author of The Finest Hours.
Critics Review
-
“The dramatic narrative is engaging and won’t disappoint students who enjoy adventure or rescue stories”
School Library Journal -
“This true story…reads like a thriller, with one thing after another going wrong and each challenge seemingly impossible to overcome. The courage displayed by the team may inspire readers to learn more about their exciting (if life-threatening) careers.”
Booklist -
“Tougias’s third-person narrative—condensed and more tightly focused than the adult version—brings to life the struggles and heroism of the sailors and rescuers alike…A sure-fire hit with young readers who are always ready for a good disaster tale.”
