Part of the Baker & Taylor Summer Reading Prize Program - Storytime Palooza with author Ævar Benediktsson!
In Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland - Benediktsson the author humorously recounts the time his grandfather got stranded with a friend on Surtsey, a brand new volcanic island in Iceland.
The adventurers face epic challenges like molten lava, melted eyeglasses and dwindling supplies before finally getting rescued-and finding the ultimate "wishing moment" along the way!
Kirkus Starred Review : "Definitely a case of fools rushing in, made all the funnier by its scarier bits!"
