Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland
What's This Book About
“Benediktsson’s Icelandic grandfather inspires this ‘mostly true, ‘ magically buoyed tale of a volcanic excursion that teeters on disaster” - Publishers Weekly Based on a true story, 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 scant supplies before finally getting rescued. Graphic novel-like layouts and spirited text invite readers to search for the one thing that’s not actually true in this thrilling yet light-hearted tale of adventure. Endnotes include information about volcanoes, Icelandic culture and Norse mythology.
