Escape From USS Indianapolis

di Andy Marino (Autore)

Scholastic US, 2025

  July, 1945 World War II is nearing its end. The Nazis have been defeated in Europe, and Albie hopes he and his brother, Joe, can return to normal life – or as normal as it can be after losing their parents. But the war with Japan rages on, and when Joe’s assigned to the USS Indianapolis, Albie refuses to be left behind. He sneaks aboard, heading out to sea with the crew. The voyage is cramped and hot, and Joe’s furious when he finds Albie. Then torpedoes slam through the hull, and the Indianapolis begins to sink. As chaos unfolds, Joe and Albie get off the ship – but the nightmare is just beginning. There’s little food, water or shelter. Days are scorching, nights are freezing. All they can do is float and hope for rescue before the Japanese navy returns. Then another threat arrives, drawn by blood in the water: sharks. Every moment becomes a desperate fight to survive. Based on the real-life sinking of the USS Indianapolis during WWII. A gripping survival story centered on brotherhood and resilience. Written by Andy Marino, known for combining history and pulse-pounding thriller
