(3) 4-6 This propulsive novel in verse tells the tale of thirteen-year-old Ken, who boarded a ship to Canada to avoid Nazi bombs raining down on London during World War II. When the ship is torpedoed, Ken and fellow child passengers must find a way to survive on Lifeboat 12. Based on real events and people, Hood's novel is an excellent addition to the canon of WWII fiction. Extensive back matter includes an author's note, source lists, and historical photos.
