it was amazing
bookshelves: adult, teen

This is an amazing, heart-breaking book about what really happened to the USS Indianapolis, sunk days before the end of WWII. For the "Jaws" fans out there, you might remember Captain Quint mentioning being a survivor of the sinking of the Indianapolis and being in the water for 5 days, getting picked off by sharks. Well, that story was true and it inspired a middle schooler to delve into the sordid truth and try to right the wrongs of the past. Must read!
