Defying Death at Sea

This title looks at extreme tales of survival in the depths of the world’s oceans. What happened when there was a mutiny on board the Bounty in the South Pacific in 1789? How did a lone Chinese merchant sailor defy death with little more than a life raft in the South Atlantic? Graphic Survival Stories is an exciting new series about real life survival stories, in a graphic-novel format. Dramatic, full colour graphic illustrations are supported by short, accessible blocks of text and speech bubbles. Each title features three gripping tales of survival and includes an introduction to the habitat, maps, survival tips and a glossary to support the stories. Short summaries of more stories will prompt further research and discussion.
