The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder is by David Grann. Another great book by this wonderful writer of nonfiction. In 1740, The Wager left England as part of a fleet destined for South America to capture a Spanish treasure ship. In 1742, thirty emaciated men made it back to England with a tale of shipwreck on a small island off the coast of Chile and the mutiny and murder that happened there. Grann is just so good at writing nonfiction that reads like a novel. His fans will enjoy this one as well.
Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content).
