Don't Give Up: Dick Thelen's Story of Survival
Kaylynn Johnson
Veteran Dick Thelen lived through a harrowing five days adrift in the Philippine Sea during WWII. His ship, the USS Indianapolis, was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine. He was one of only 317 who lived to tell the story. About 300 men went down with the ship; nearly 600 others died from injuries, shark attacks, dehydration or salt poisoning from drinking ocean water. Young author Kaylynn Johnson tells this powerful story for young readers, and young artist Reagan Minto brings his story to life with her artwork.
