The Last American Star

The Last American Star, by E.B. Fletcher, is a fictionalized tale that can be enjoyed by teens and adults alike. In fascinating detail, vivid character portrayals, and historical accuracy, it tells the story of an abandoned ocean liner that has beached on one of the Canary Islands during hurricane-forced winds. The ship is, in fact, the former S.S. AMERICA, of the now disband United States Lines Company. When several local boys discover the wreck, they research her history and set off on an adventure that will be entertaining, informative, and filled with valuable lessons in the bargain.
