A thrilling story based on a real WWII events, for children
aged 9 - 12.
July, 1945
World War II is nearing its end.
The Nazis have been defeated in Europe, and Albie hopes he and
his brother, Joe, can return to normal life – or as normal
as it can be after losing their parents. But the war with Japan
rages on, and when Joe’s assigned to the USS Indianapolis,
Albie refuses to be left behind. He sneaks aboard, heading out to
sea with the crew.
The voyage is cramped and hot, and Joe’s furious when he
finds Albie. Then torpedoes slam through the hull, and the Indianapolis
begins to sink.
As chaos unfolds, Joe and Albie get off the ship – but the
nightmare is just beginning. There’s little food, water
or shelter. Days are scorching, nights are freezing. All they can
do is float and hope for rescue before the Japanese navy returns.
Then another threat arrives, drawn by blood in the water: sharks.
Every moment becomes a desperate fight to survive.
Based on the real-life sinking of the USS Indianapolis during
WWII.
A gripping survival story centered on brotherhood and resilience.
Written by Andy Marino, known for combining history and pulse-pounding
thriller
