(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emily Harris. Based on the 1897 shipwreck of the Goldhunter off the coast of Maine, this fictionalized account highlights the friendship between a boy and a dog and the heroic rescue efforts of that canine. Though slightly awkward in both art and text, the bold illustrations successfully enhance the intensity of this engaging maritime adventure.
