Torpedoed!: A World War II Story of a Sinking Passenger Ship and Two Children's Survival at Sea

In September 1939, the S.S. Athenia, a passenger ship en route to Canada from England, was torpedoed by a German submarine. The ship sank and survivors spent harrowing hours in life boats. Mullenbach's well-researched and exciting recreation of events before, during, and after the attack centers on the experiences of real children, eleven-year-old Russell Park and fourteen-year-old Florence Kelly; black-and-white-photos are included. Timeline. Bib., ind.
