Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Ævar Þór Benediktsson

Illustrated by: Anne Wilson

Benediktssons Icelandic grandfather inspires this mostly true, magically buoyed tale of a volcanic excursion that teeters on disaster Publishers Weekly Based on a true story, the author humorously recounts the time his grandfather got stranded with a friend on Surtsey, a brand new volcanic island in Iceland. The adventurers face epic challenges like molten lava, melted eyeglasses and scant supplies before finally getting rescued. Graphic novel-like layouts and spirited text invite readers to search for the one thing that's not actually true in this thrilling yet light-hearted tale of adventure. Endnotes include information about volcanoes, Icelandic culture and Norse mythology. See more
