Description - Teenage Castaways: True Stories of Shipwreck Survivors by Elly Blue

These five true stories are about teens who survived shipwrecks and lived to tell their incredible stories. Stories follow the adventures of 19th-Century teens from Japan whose paths back home were complicated by global politics, two different white teens who are found belonging with Indigenous communities in northeast Australia in a time when their respective societies had little positive interaction, and six Tongan teens in the 1960s who survived on a deserted island for over a year. These stories of adventure, trauma, colonialism, and community all highlight the resilience of their youthful heroes in difficult and dangerous circumstances.
