A children’s book based on the Pendleton Disaster Off Cape Cod.

Jack Nickerson and his faithful lab, Sinbad, wake early one snowy Cape Cod morning, ready for winter fun. Meanwhile, miles away in the ocean, the crew of an oil tanker ship called the Pendleton is in serious trouble.

The waves and wind of a raging Nor’easter rip the tanker in two, leaving survivors to fend for themselves in the wicked, cold storm. There’s no time to waste!  

The Coast Guard, including Jack’s friend Bernie Webber, leave Chatham Harbor in search of the Pendleton crew. They don’t know that Jack and Sinbad have snuck aboard the rescue boat as stowaways. Join the young duo in the front row for the greatest small-boat rescue in Coast Guard history.

Illustrator Julia Marshall’s work is featured in this children’s edition intended for readers aged 9 to 13. A masterful fusion of fiction and non-fiction will engage a young reader’s imagination.
