(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Willow Dawson. Aboard the Lusitania, twelve-year-old Avis Dolphin befriends Professor Holbourn, who tells her a dramatic serial story of shipwreck, courage, and a girl-hero. When the Lusitania is torpedoed, Avis (a real-life Lusitania survivor) herself bravely lives out shipwreck and rescue. Avis's mildly eventful shipboard life is counterbalanced by Holbourn's ferocious adventure story, presented in wordless graphic-novel panels interspersed throughout the main text.
