161 pp. | Holt | January, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9764-1 $17.99
(4) YA This is an adaptation for younger people of an adult book of the same title. Although the abridgement sometimes makes for choppy reading, this is an exciting true story about a Coast Guard rescue off Cape Cod in 1952 that will interest readers who like adventure and against-all-odds acts of courage. An insert of harrowing black-and-white photos is included. Bib.
