(2) YA The Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1945, leaving 880 seamen adrift, where they faced exhaustion, dehydration, and shark attacks. Decades later, middle-schooler Hunter Scott joined survivors in trying to clear the name of the ship's captain who was court-martialed. Readers will be inspired by the youth's tenacity--and by the valor of those who served on the Indy. Bib.
