When a forty-seven-foot sailboat disappears in the Gulf Stream in the throes of a disastrous storm, it leaves behind three weary passengers struggling to stay alive. This middle-grade adaptation of an adult nonfiction book tells the story of the four intrepid Coast Guardsmen who braved this ruthless storm in the hopes of saving them. A spellbinding tale of courage and survival from the author of The Finest Hours.
Michael J. Tougias is the author of many true rescue stories, including Overboard!, Fatal Forecast, and Ten Hours Until Dawn, which ALA named an Editors’s Choice and Booklist praised as “the best story of peril at sea since The Perfect Storm.” He is also the coauthor of The Finest Hours, which is a major motion picture from Disney. A frequent lecturer on his work, Tougias lives in Plymouth, Massachusetts. MichaelTougias.com.
Alex Boyles has been acting pretty much his entire life. He got his BA in theater–acting/directing performance from CSU Long Beach and his MFA in acting performance from Ohio State University. He started narrating audiobooks in 2019 and hasn’t looked back!

Reviews
“Tougias’s third-person narrative—condensed and more tightly focused than the adult version—brings to life the struggles and heroism of the sailors and rescuers alike…A sure-fire hit with young readers who are always ready for a good disaster tale.”
“The dramatic narrative is engaging and won’t disappoint students who enjoy adventure or rescue stories”
“This true story…reads like a thriller, with one thing after another going wrong and each challenge seemingly impossible to overcome. The courage displayed by the team may inspire readers to learn more about their exciting (if life-threatening) careers.”
