A riveting WWII account of survival at sea--Book 4 in the middle grade True Rescue series from Michael J. Tougias, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Finest Hours.

On May 19, 1942, during WWII, a U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico stalked its prey fifty miles from New Orleans. The submarine set its sights on the freighter Heredia. Most onboard were merchant seamen, but there were also civilians, including the Downs family: Ray and Ina, and their two children. Fast asleep in their berths, the Downs family had no idea that two torpedoes were heading their way. When the ship exploded, chaos ensued--and each family member had to find their own path to survival.

This inspiring historical narrative tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle against sharks, hypothermia, blinding oil, drowning, and dehydration in their effort to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the American coast.

Quality shades
Color: Blue Tortoise Dark Grey/Dark Grey, Size: 54/17/145
I need Rx in my shades for reading. I bought these thinking I can get away with wearing regular sunglasses but not a great idea on my part. Little too foggy. I do love them nevertheless and will gift them. They are sturdy and well-made.
