Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World, by Jennifer Armstrong
Historical Non-Fiction

Recommended by Miss Zimmerman

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you were shipwrecked on a deserted island?  Most people have thought about this at some point.  In our imaginations we are on a sunny island, with silky white beaches.  There might be some annoying pirates around trying to steal our treasure, maybe some obstacles in keeping ourselves well-fed, but for the most part, the island would probably be a nice place to go get a tan while relaxing on a beach awaiting our rescuers.  The book Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World, by Jennifer Armstrong,  is a historical non-fiction book about a real, actual shipwreck.  A group of 28 men were stranded on an island after their boat was wrecked.  BUT, don’t go thinking this is the same old shipwreck story that you are so familiar with.  No, these guys were stuck in the coldest, iciest, stormiest place in the world:  Antarctica.  If you like life-threatening adventures, and are interested in the gripping historical account of how 28 men could possibly survive not only a year, but an entire WINTER, in the most treacherous place in the world, read this book.  It will not disappoint.
