Astonishing real-life rescue missions from on, under and above the
earth from the award-winning team behind Survivors and
Heroes.>/i>
How far would you go to save a life? Scrambling from the wreckage of his
school after an earthquake, a nine-year-old Sichuan boy rescued two
unconscious friends. 'I was hall monitor, ' he said afterwards. 'It is
my job to look after my classmates.' Whether dragging a friend from a
blazing car, masterminding a search far below the earth's surface, or
recovering astronauts from an aborted space mission, Rescue reveals
the ingenuity, courage and doggedness of the human spirit all over the
world.
Another unputdownable collection of eye-opening and moving true
adventures, both contemporary and historical. Impeccably told by David
Long and brought to vibrant life by illustrator Kerry Hyndman.
