In September 1940, passenger liner SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with one hundred children on board. When the warships escorting the Benares departed, a German submarine torpedoed what became known as the Children's Ship. Out of tragedy, ordinary people became heroes. This is their story. -- |cFrom dust jacket. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-276) and index. 505 00 |tNoise of war -- |tSailing to safety -- |tA floating palace -- |tDesserts and drills -- |tWish me luck as you wave me goodbye -- |tSecrets at sea -- |tU-boat 48 -- |tSeptember 17, 1940 -- |tIt's only a torpedo -- |tFate's hand -- |tMiddle of the Atlantic -- |tLounge -- |tA long green tunnel -- |tShips cry -- |tLongest night -- |tBreak of day -- |tBest possible speed -- |tHurricane -- |tPhoenixes -- |t"In spite of all the precautions" -- |tLifeboat 12 -- |tI spy nothing -- |tPerils at sea -- |tBritish heroes don't snivel -- |tHope is a fine feather of smoke -- |tDarkest hours -- |tIllusions, delusions, more nightmares -- |tAnd on the eighth day -- |tA watery grave -- |tAfter the voyage. 521 8 840L |blexile 521 3 Sentence length: 4 (hard)Word frequency: 5 (very hard) |bLexile. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 610 20 City of Benares (Ship) |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xChildren |zGreat Britain |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians |zGreat Britain |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xNaval operations, German |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Shipwrecks |zNorth Atlantic Ocean |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives, British |vJuvenile literature. 610 20 City of Benares (Ship) 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xChildren |zGreat Britain. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians |zGreat Britain. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xNaval operations, German. 650 0 Shipwrecks |zNorth Atlantic Ocean. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives, British. 650 7 JUVENILE NONFICTION / History / Military & Wars. |2bisacsh 650 7 JUVENILE NONFICTION / Transportation / Boats, Ships & Underwater Craft. |2bisacsh 650 7 JUVENILE NONFICTION / Social Science / Politics & Government. |2bisacsh 610 27 City of Benares (Ship) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00641503 650 7 Evacuation of civilians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916969 650 7 Children. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00854835 650 7 Military operations, Naval |xGerman. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710247 650 7 Shipwrecks. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01116638 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 North Atlantic Ocean. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01242477 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xChildren |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Shipwrecks |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xChildren. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945. 650 0 Shipwrecks. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives. 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Personal narratives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 Informational works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 Creative nonfiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919909 655 7 Juvenile works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 Personal narratives |vBritish. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01424087 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 655 7 Creative nonfiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Informational works. |2lcgft 852 0 |bscstacks |hD772.C46 |iH45 2019
