Storm Warriors

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Nathan is determined to qualify for membership in the Pea Island surfmen, an African-American life-saving team who rescue shipwrecked sailors off the North Carolina coast. His father is reluctant to let him pursue such a dream, and his reasons reflect the racism still pervasive in post-Civil War America. This thoughtfully crafted first-person narrative combines historical figures with created characters in the best traditions of the historical novel.
