Daring Sea Evacuation at Dunkirk: Interactive World War II Missions
Description
Description
In May of 1940, more than 338,000 Allied soldiers were stranded in northern France following Nazi Germany's invasion of the country. The British military knew that if their army couldn't be saved, the Germans would continue invading Europe, and the war would be lost. The soldiers had to be rescued. The evacuation--codenamed Operation Dynamo--would take effort from the military and civilians alike. How would you handle the daring rescue? Experience the evacuation as a British soldier stranded on the beaches at Dunkirk. Act as a civilian in command of a ship sent to rescue soldiers. Or be a French citizen fleeing the Nazi advance. In this interactive adventure, YOU CHOOSE the paths that will lead you and others to freedom or spell your doom!
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
This series presents action-driven, choose-your-own-adventure narratives based on real rescue missions and escapes from World War II. Each book opens with an overview of the true historical event and its context before moving into the interactive story. Readers select from three real people involved in the event and then follow that individual's experience, making choices that affect how the story unfolds. The narratives develop realistically, and outcomes are not always successful, reinforcing the seriousness of the events and the risks involved. Writing is engaging and fast paced, with the story carrying the main appeal. Photographs support understanding and add context without overshadowing the narrative. Each book includes a table of contents, background sections on the operation and mission equipment, a timeline, glossary, and a list of suggestions for further reading. VERDICT A highly recommended series for sparking interest in World War II while introducing major historical events.--Kate Rao, Willows Community School, CA "School Library Journal"
