dogmomirene 's review for:
This book is an amazing example of how first-person research makes such a difference. Hunter Scott was in middle school when he started asking questions about the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. When he tried researching his questions at the library, he found very few answers. Rather than shrugging off his curiosity, he started tracking down the survivors and asking them questions for a history fair project. This book retells their stories and their quest for reversing the court-martial that the ship's captain was subjected to. Stories shared are compelling. The book makes history and the teaching of history relevant to even skeptical middle school students.
