"In individual chapters, the National Book Award-winning author focuses on seven shipwrecks with perhaps lesser-known recognition but notable historical significance...Most important, however, are the connections made to humans' impact on history, fromtrade routes to technological advances to the horrors of slavery. Photos from the expeditionscenes and lengthy sidebars on such topics as the role of women sponge divers on shipwreckdiscoveries add more insight to this thought-provoking STEM offering." --Booklist, "Full of adventure and numerous explorations of the value of perseverance, this title will capture the attention of readers through a wealth of scientific and historical details." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Sandler turns his attention to shipwrecks and marine archaeology, selecting seven shipwrecks that collectively present the excitement of solving the mysteries of where each one lies, the latest excavation technologies, and the wealth of historical understanding each wreck yields up...Sandler finds the hook in the story surrounding each wreck, and the stories build upon one another to create a more complete understanding of the field. A final chapter teases nine additional shipwreck stories in brief vignettes. The handsome book design features full-color photographs of recovered artifacts; scientists working to restore ships; sidebars with additional information; and historical paintings, photographs, and maps." -- The Horn Book, starred review "In individual chapters, the National Book Award-winning author focuses on seven shipwrecks with perhaps lesser-known recognition but notable historical significance...Most important, however, are the connections made to humans' impact on history, from trade routes to technological advances to the horrors of slavery.

Immersive reading." --Kirkus Reviews "Filled with photos of artifacts, the excavation process, and vessels recovered, [ Shipwrecked! ] a fascinating read that paints each shipwreck as 'a pristine historic time capsule' and marine archaeology as 'one of the newest, most dynamic, and most rewarding of all the sciences.'"-- Publishers Weekly, "Full of adventure and numerous explorations of the value of perseverance, this title will capture the attention of readers through a wealth of scientific and historical details." -- School Library Journal , starred review "In individual chapters, the National Book Award-winning author focuses on seven shipwrecks with perhaps lesser-known recognition but notable historical significance...Most important, however, are the connections made to humans' impact on history, from trade routes to technological advances to the horrors of slavery.
