About this ebook
A gripping true story of heroism and survival at sea during the catastrophic Blizzard of 1978, adapted for young readers by New York Times bestselling author Michael J. Tougias.
In the midst of a raging blizzard, the tanker Global Hope floundered off the Massachusetts coast. The Coast Guard immediately dispatched a patrol boat, but soon found themselves in as much peril as the stranded tanker. With both vessels paralyzed in the unrelenting storm, Captain Frank Quirk and his crew of four made the daring decision to take their 49-foot steel boat, the Can Do, into the heart of the blizzard.
Perfect for fans of the I Survived series, this riveting middle-grade adaptation of Tougias' adult nonfiction book, Ten Hours Until Dawn, chronicles the harrowing journey of the Can Do and its crew as they battled towering waves and fierce winds in a desperate rescue mission.
Tougias, author of The Finest Hours, brings this incredible tale of courage and determination to life for young readers in his True Rescue Series. These real-life stories capture the heroism of people on life-saving missions during maritime disasters.
