Description

When a forty-seven-foot sailboat disappears in the Gulf Stream in the throes of a calamitous storm, it leaves behind three weary passengers struggling to stay alive afloat a life raft in violent waves eighty feet tall. This illustrated chapter book adaptation also tells the story of the four intrepid Coast Guardsmen who braved the savage storm in the hopes of saving the stranded sailors. It's another spellbinding tale of courage and survival from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Finest Hours. A fast-paced rescue story for fans of the bestselling I Survived chapter book series. Christy Ottaviano Books
