This book was about a man and his crew that went through extraordinary tough gashes in life. It is like they are supers! When they went through all of this, they had to adapt to changes. It is when their ship sank that the book really got through to me. But how they dealt with it- and their snow dogs- and the penguins- and the whales- and the pulling- it was just all so very moving to know that there are people that care about things in this world and set goals. once those people's goals are set- up, up, and away! They fly to the sky searching for whatever they want to accomplish. Thank you so much- you should really read this book- it is totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance
Parents need to know that this book is history as exciting adventure -- better than fictional survival stories, beautifully written, and illustrated with photos that survived from the voyage.
