Description
On the night of February 18, 1952, during one of the worst nor'easters that New England has ever seen, two oil tankers just off the shore of Cape Cod were torn in half by the force of the storm. This illustrated chapter book adaptation tells the story of a harrowing Coast Guard rescue when four young men in a tiny lifeboat overcame insurmountable odds and saved more than thirty stranded sailors. It's a fast-paced, uplifting story that puts young readers in the middle of the action. A riveting survival story for fans of the bestselling I Survived chapter book series. Christy Ottaviano Books
