Unsinkable: A Young Woman's Courageous Battle on the High Seas

Unsinkable: A Young Woman's Courageous Battle on the High Seas
“Do Hard Things” is the title of the Harris twins’ bestselling book, but it could also be the summery of Abby Sunderland’s story. After her older brother Zack sailed around the world, Abby decided to follow in his wake. Even though her attempt ended when a wave rolled her boat and snapped her mast, it didn’t mean the end of her story.
The book is written in three points of view: Abby’s, a third-person narrator, and that of the crew that came to her rescue. The different sections are marked by icons and easy to distinguish, creating a nice balance between wide-angle views and intimate details. The sections written by Abby are gripping, full of enough details for even a Midwestern landlubber to feel the salty spray of the towering waves.
The book also makes it clear that this was Abby’s idea, not a fame-attempt by her parents. I was thoroughly impressed by her determination and energy. This is one girl you who wouldn’t be satisfied with a trip to the mall—she’s ready and eager for more.
I received a free copy of this book through Thomas Nelson’s booksneeze program, but was not required to write a positive review.
