I Survived the Hindenburg Disaster, 1937 (I Survived #13) | Lauren Tarshis

4 posts | 8 read | 1 to read

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis provides a birds-eye view of one of America's most ghastly accidents ever be captured on film, the Hindenburg Disaster of 1937. The greatest flying machine ever built is about to crash... For eleven-year-old Hugo Ballard, flying on the Hindenburg is a dream come true. Hugo, his parents, and his four-year-old sister, Gertie, are making the thrilling four-thousand-mile journey across the Atlantic in a zeppelin as big as the Titanic. But as the zeppelin gets ready to land, a blast rocks the Hindenburg and fire consumes the ship. The entire disaster lasts a mere thirty-two seconds, but in those few seconds, Hugo finds himself separated from his family and in a desperate race to escape the flames. The Hindenburg is doomed. And so, it seems, is Hugo. Will he survive this historic disaster?

Another excellent installment of Tarshis's I Survived series! A family is traveling on the Hindenburg after their daughter got malaria and needs to be seen in NY for treatments. A spy is on board, smuggling papers out of Nazi Germany to the US and then we prepare for the worst!
I decided to read this after my son was asking about Led Zeppelin and I realized I didn't know anything really about the disaster. #quarantinereads
