Meticulously researched and generously illustrated with photographs, this page-turner includes an author\'s note describing her experience meeting the team, detailed source notes, and a bibliography to fully immerse readers in the most ambitious Cave Rescue in history..
Combining firsthand interviews of Rescue workers with in-depth science and details of the region\'s culture and religion, author Christina Soontornvat--who was visiting family in Northern Thailand when the Wild Boars went missing--masterfully shows how both the complex engineering operation above ground and the mental struggles of the thirteen young people below proved critical in the life-or-death mission.
As the world sits vigil, people begin to wonder: how long can a group of ordinary kids survive in complete darkness, with no food or clean water? Luckily, the Wild Boars are a very extraordinary ordinary group.
The boys are trapped Before long, news of the missing Team spreads, launching a seventeen-day Rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers from around the globe.
But when they turn to leave, rising floodwaters block their path out.
On June 23, 2018, twelve young players of the Wild Boars Soccer Team and their coach enter a Cave in northern Thailand seeking an afternoon\'s adventure.
