About this title

Synopsis

Josh, a 16-year-old sailor and baseball fan, bravely battles sharks and massive waves after a WWII torpedo sinks the USS Indianapolis battleship.

From multi-award-winning Ellie Crowe and Scott Peters comes a gripping survival story for kids age 9-12, based on true events.

Josh, a 16-year-old baseball player from San Antonio, Texas, is elated to be serving as a WW2 sailor on the powerful USS Indianapolis. However, in the middle of the night, a Japanese torpedo strikes the battleship, tearing it in half. Josh is thrown from the deck and plunged into the ocean's murky depths. Clinging to his life vest, he witnesses the battleship's descent into the abyss. Josh is a brave kid but he's no swimmer-he's way out of his element. Soon, hungry sharks begin to circle and his worst nightmare becomes a reality. With no lifeboat or food in sight, how long can he survive? Every hour is a battle, and if he loses hope, he'll never make it home. Can Josh survive the worst naval disaster in U.S. history?

This is the 3rd children's book in the I Escaped Series about brave boys and girls who face real-world challenges and find ways to escape disaster. Follow these inspiring kids while they brainstorm, help others, and hone their problem-solving skills.

The short chapters make for easy wins, and Josh's gripping situation keeps even reluctant readers turning pages just to find out what's going to happen next.
