Originally published in hardcover in 2016 by Henry Holt and Company. A spellbinding tale of maritime disaster, survival, and an absolutely daring rescue from Michael J. Tougias, the author of The Finest Hours, which is now a major motion picture. When a forty-seven-foot sailboat disappears in the Gulf Stream during a disastrous storm, it leaves behind three weary sailors struggling to stay alive on a life raft in the throes of violent waves eighty feet tall. This middle-grade adaptation of an adult nonfiction book tells the story of the four intrepid Coast Guardsmen who braved the sea and this ruthless storm, hoping to rescue the stranded sailors. A Storm Too Soon tells a riveting true story that will delight young readers. "The dramatic narrative is engaging and won't disappoint students who enjoy adventure or rescue stories"--School Library Journal. |
