Description
A sailing vacation through the Bahamas becomes a fight for survival when a hurricane sinks the Silvas' rented sailboat. Adrift on a life raft with little food and water, Rafael and his three kids fish, collect rainwater, and fight off a shark. They have to find a way to be seen before it is too late.
These gentle reads are brimming with spirited characters and positive values, with a little extra excitement and bite, so hold on tight. Written expressly for the middle-grade striving reader, the series contains no strong language, edgy themes, or dysfunctional families. In fact, family is the main theme of these titles, and one particular family is the focus, with its uncanny knack for finding humor, hope, and colorful personalities even in unusual circumstances. Written at the lowest reading levels, the story structure is straightforward and moves the reader through the text quickly and efficiently.
Themes: Survival; family; hope; teamwork
