LOVED this!!!! Patrick and his younger brother Teddy were separated from their parent in the Philippines shorter before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. They have been in Guam, in orphanages, and have hidden in the jungles to survive. Now with the help of a friendly sailor Benny they have smuggled aboard the USS Indianapolis in the hopes of being reunited with their parents.
Problem is...the USS Indianapolis gets torpedoed and they all find themselves on a pallet on the middle of the ocean trying to survive... oh yeah, and there are sharks.
This story is based on the actual events of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and was fantastic. Lots of action, fast paced, less than 200 pages. This was very good.
