DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom award-winning author Deborah Heiligman comes Torpedoed, a true account of the attack and sinking of the passenger ship SS City of Benares, which was evacuating children from England during WWII. Amid the constant rain of German bombs and the escalating violence of World War II, British parents by the thousands chose to send their children out of the country: the wealthy, independently; the poor, through a government relocation program called CORB. In September 1940, passenger liner SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with one hundred children on board. When the war ships escorting the Benares departed, a German submarine torpedoed what became known as the Children's Ship. Out of tragedy, ordinary people became heroes. This is their story. This title has Common Core connections.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo one to be seen now and my head facing I knew not where. A great, livid waste, the light of day going, and the way might be to the north or to the south. I had lost my bearings. Not far away a tank, half embedded, was getting it full tilt. The sweat stood on my dirty face. And then in that great expanse of mud and wire I spotted a little red cross on a little flag....So writes Private Alfred Willcox, of the Royal Sussex Regiment, about a July night in 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. His is just one of the many gripping, moving accounts in True World War I Stories -- accounts that recall all aspects of the greatest conflict the world had ever seen: the first gas and tank attacks; life in the trenches and under bombardment; going over the top and charging the enemy; fighting at Loos, Mons, and the Somme; aerial dogfights and the birth of the air force; and life as a prisoner of war.Fear and courage, dirt, pain, and death -- it's all here in True World War I Stories.
