Jake Maddox: Shipwreck! A Survive! Story plunges readers into a harrowing tale of three children, Skylar, Gabby, and Miles, who find themselves adrift at sea after a catastrophic shipwreck during a whale-watching excursion. Stranded on an inflatable raft with minimal supplies, they must contend with the elements, hunger, thirst, and the terrifying presence of sharks. The story details their three-day ordeal, including Gabby's hallucinations, as they cling to hope for rescue. This chapter book is a fast-paced adventure that explores themes of survival, teamwork, and resilience, making it suitable for children aged 7-11, though younger readers (4-6) might enjoy it as a read-aloud with parental guidance due to its intense subject matter.
When their whale-watching trip goes horribly wrong, Skylar, Gabby, and Miles find themselves on an inflatable raft in the middle of the ocean. With no food, a small amount of water, and only a small first-aid kit to help them, they must spend three treacherous days on the waves, hoping desperately for help to arrive. Sharks circle, their water supply dwindles, and Gabby begins to hallucinate. Will they survive, or are they lost at sea forever?
