Trix could not remember this and, given her current interest in historical disasters via the I Survive series, I thought she may enjoy a re-listen. It is an amazing story

Some young boys on a soccer team in Thailand were stranded in a cave in 2018 while exploring with their coach. The country and people from across the world came together to save them. Obviously, the rescue was incredible and it‘s a wonderful true story, but the book is written in a way that made it drag even though it was short.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved this on audio! The harrowing story of the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a cave in Thailand. Also learned quite a bit about Thai culture and cave diving and exploration. Highly recommend.

A story which fascinated (and terrified) the world turned into a short narrative non-fiction book. The girls and I enjoyed listening to this, although having two lockdowns in the past month, it took us a bit longer than expected as we mostly listen in the car. I expect it would have been even more gripping if we had been listening more regularly. Still, both were intrigued and very relieved when the boys survived.
Wow. I am so grateful to the Newbery committee for picking this as an Honor book this year, because I would never have picked it up otherwise. This is one of those stories where truth is more incredible than fiction. Everyone needs to know about this rescue! Read this book!

I could weep 😭 They finally have been found, yet we know the rescue is far from over. The offer of help from a 14-year old boy who is literally trapped & starving. 😭
I don‘t always read the jacket copy or author bio before starting a book, but I‘m really glad I did this time! #buddyread
My hold came in, @BucklingBookshelves ! I'm ready to start whenever you are! 😃
Excited to receive this one as a Library Thing Early Reviewers copy !! 📖
