BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE; MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
In 1628, the King of Sweden built a massive warship. At the time, Sweden was the most powerful country on the sea, so a ship of epic proportions was essential. But when the biggest sailing ship ever cast off on its maiden voyage (with over 100 sailors and their whole families on board) it barely made it out of dock before it tipped over and sank.
Well told with a nice transition to modern day and the discovery and restoration. So beautifully illustrated. A great read for middle school, too.
