Secrets of a Civil War Submarine
by Sally M. Walker
E599.H4 W35 2005
*Starred Review* Walker brings a little-known story of the Civil War to life in this fascinating book. When the
Union blockade of all ports in the South stopped supplies from reaching the Confederate Army, Horace L.
Hunley decided to create a submarine that would be able to sneak up on enemy ships and blow them up.
After many years of trial and error, the H. L. Hunley actually succeeded in sinking the USS Housatonic in
February of 1864. But the submarine never returned to port, and her crew perished in the Charleston
Harbor. This is a finely crafted account of the Hunley from its inception to the modern archaeological quest
to exhume her from the water. It is divided into chronological chapters complete with pictures, maps, and
primary sources. Half of the book discusses the construction and design of the submarine, in addition to its
practice runs and its first and only mission. The second half consists of the process of locating and
excavating the Hunley , as well as piecing together the puzzle of exactly what happened on that fateful night
in 1864. The archaeological process is well documented in both words and pictures, and the conclusions
are interesting and even surprising–Source: School Library Journal

The Maze of Bones
(Book 1 in 39 Clues Series)
By Rick Riordan
PZ7 .R4829 Maz 2008
* Starred Review */ When their beloved Aunt Grace dies, Dan, 11, and Amy, 14—along with other Cahill
descendants—are faced with an unusual choice: inherit one million dollars or participate in a perilous
treasure hunt. Cahills have determined the course of history for centuries, and this quest's outcome will
bring the victors untoward power and affect all of humankind. Against the wishes of nasty Aunt Beatrice,
their reluctant guardian since their parents' deaths, Dan and Amy accept the challenge, convincing their
college-age au pair to serve as designated adult. Pitted against other Cahill teams, who will stop at nothing
to win, the siblings decipher the first of 39 clues and are soon hot on the historical trail of family member
Ben Franklin to unearth the next secret. Adeptly incorporating a genuine kids' perspective, the narrative
unfolds like a boulder rolling downhill and keeps readers glued to the pages. Source: School Library Journal
