Stranded

Based on a true story, the author humorously tells the story of the time his grandfather, along with a friend, became stranded on Surtsey, a brand new volcanic island in Iceland. The adventurers face epic challenges like molten lava, melted eyeglasses and scant supplies before finally getting rescued. Graphic novel-like layouts and spirited text invite readers to search for the one thing that's not actually true in this thrilling yet light-hearted tale of adventure. Endnotes include information about volcanoes, Icelandic culture, and Norse mythology. 32 pages, hardcover. Ages 6 to 10.
