From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3-- Three dramatic stories of rescues--tales that could bring chills to readers. Unfortunately, their impact is lessened by the informal fictionalized presentation of the facts and the use of first names. The only indication that the stories are true is the dateline at the beginning of each of the three episodes. The first rescue involves a skydiver who is knocked unconscious and unable to open her parachute. In the second episode, a boy manages to grab a young girl away from the jaws of an alligator. The last event recounts the amazing rescue of a toddler who fell into a deep well. As beginning-reader fare, the book does fill the bill for readability at the late primary level. However, the present-tense narratives and the lack of specific facts make it less successful as nonfiction. The illustrations are realistic and aid comprehension. Especially well done are the diagrams depicting the child's entrapment in the well and the efforts taken to reach her. --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA
