A riveting WWII account of survival at sea--Book 4 in the middle grade True Rescue series from Michael J. Tougias, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Finest Hours.

On May 19, 1942, during WWII, a U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico stalked its prey fifty miles from New Orleans. The submarine set its sights on the freighter Heredia. Most onboard were merchant seamen, but there were also civilians, including the Downs family: Ray and Ina, and their two children. Fast asleep in their berths, the Downs family had no idea that two torpedoes were heading their way. When the ship exploded, chaos ensued--and each family member had to find their own path to survival.

This inspiring historical narrative tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle against sharks, hypothermia, blinding oil, drowning, and dehydration in their effort to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the American coast.

Worked well!
Style: Levelers, Size: 20 Pack
We recently had our first camping trip with our ‘84 RV at a local state park. prior to the camping trip, it had rained a lot. At this park, parking is on grass. I was nervous the heavy RV would sink and we would get stuck so I found these. It was packaged nicely. Easy to figure out how to use. It took a bit to get the RV to back over them but was good once it did. Color is bright. They were stable. A few did “bow” we noticed after we grabbed them out. Came in a nice storage bag and light to carry.

Good product
Style: Levelers, Size: 10 Pack
I am a truck camper that camps about 4 months of every year and use these blocks to level my truck at each of the various sites I camp. They stack and are stored in a bag so take limited space. The blocks are easy to use, quick to deploy, are fairly durable and work well - I love them! They are a little pricy but worth it to me.

Great stabilizer

Very light, seem very sturdy and lock together snuggly. Instead of carrying heavy wood to support, now I can use the light weight levelers. Tested multiple times to make sure they could hold, so far no issues going up and down.
