Prompt: All Is Lost

I know I trot this book out every once in awhile. It is a great adventure story. Well worth the read.

Klou This sounds really good!!! 2y
TheSpineView @Klou It is. I just reread it yesterday. I got to thinking about the book after I posted this. I read parts only in a high school class and loved it but never finished it. It is a quick read. 2y
Klou @TheSpineView I'm glad you enjoyed it, and finally read it all! Definitely need to check this one out! 2y

This is a true story of a 16 year old boy who sails around the world alone. Fantastic story and the book was very well done. It was also a movie back in the day.

Eggs Nicely done ✅📚👏🏻 3y

I read this book when it first came out in the 70s then it was made into a movie which I saw. It is the the true story of a boy only 16 who sailed around the world. A truly amazing adventure. I highly recommend!⛵

#12DaysofChristmas For "two turtle doves" I'm going with TWO characters--TURTLE ? the young Native American girl from Barabara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees & DOVE ?the sailboat ⛵️in the book of the same name in which the author began a sailing adventure at age 16. Can a boat be a character? In this case I think it counts since it was just Graham, Dove & the cats he kept on board. (BTW Max ?says I should reread this one with him-? & ??) ??

rachaich Loved The Bean Trees. And everything else Kingsolver has written! 6y
mrp27 Once again, 👏🏻👏🏻 Turtle is a great character. Loved this book and 6y
DebinHawaii @rachaich @mrp27 Me too! I was thinking of rereading both The Bean Trees and Pigs in Heaven one of these days--it's been ages. 📚💜 6y

mrp27 Agreed, it's been years since I've read them and could definitely use a reread. 6y
Leftcoastzen Nicely done! 6y
SandyW My cats would not want me getting any ideas, so no Dove for me! 😾 6y
LibrarianRyan Of course a boat would can be a character. 6y
