Ratings and reviews

How will six ninth grade chess players survive a forced landing on an isolated island in the North Atlantic? Amazing resourcefulness comes from thinking outside the box, using limited Internet time, then acting on it. They even succeed in getting most of the 80 passengers involved in their life sustaining efforts. Good read for upper middle school and beyond.

A new look at what teens can do. Fanciful and fun for a modern world.

I couldn't put it down 😃
