Today I‘ve got two ocean survival stories to recommend.

Gary Paulson is most famous for Hatchet, and The Voyage of the Frog is another story of a boy on his own. David takes a sailboat out and is caught by a storm that carries him far off course.

In Deep Water, Julie and her dad run a scuba diving business and she takes two clients down off the coast of Alabama. When they return to the surface, the boat is gone.

Did you know that August is National Dog Month? My library display.

Thirteen-year-old Nikki Roberts hears a distress call on CB radio from 2 young children, 1 injured, who are stuck in a forest fire. With the added annoyance of poachers who also try to trap Nikki and her horse, can Nikki get them all to safety?

While lost in the woods, Carl and his cousin seek shelter with a man known as Fox Man. Though his face is horribly disfigured, (WWI) he is generous and intelligent, and becomes a sort of mentor for the boys. Great story

Fascinating story of Mark, camping in the desert alone, who awakens to a powerful light that transports him to another time and place. Survival instincts compel him to defend himself and prove his strength.

Loved teaching this in middle school. ❄️

He would like to speak to the manager about the following issues: not enough petting, has been a full two hours since his last meal, cannot reach the treat jar on his own.

Young David‘s Uncle Owen is dying and asks David to take his twenty-two foot fiberglass FROG out to sea upon Owen‘s death, and scatter his ashes upon the water. His journey is fraught with storms/high winds, hunger and thirst, and the loneliness of survival. Well-written and you felt like you were experiencing it all as David was.
