★ LOST AT SEA - SLJ STARRED
Lost at Sea: Survival Scout by Maxwell Eaton III
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
Pages: 176
Gr 4 Up–Scout and her older brother are going for a sailing lesson without their mother. When her brother jumps ship to go swimming with a dolphin, Scout is left all alone with only a skunk and her knowledge about the sea. She must use her wits to get back home safely, or risk getting lost. Like the previous two volumes in the series, this book includes information that can teach people of all ages how to survive. It takes a compelling situation that would be at home in a drama or action movie and tackles every facet with intelligence, tact, and a little bit of humor.
VERDICT: Every boat that sets sail could benefit from a copy of this book onboard.
