Remembered as one of the most important and valiant efforts to save human life, the series of events at Dunkirk, France that occurred from May 26 to June 4, 1940 provide a fantastic example of how ordinary people can help move mountains. The main characters in this book are fictional, but the boat, Lucy, is not. Because of the subject matter, this book would not be appropriate in primary grade levels. It would perhaps be better for a group of older students whose reading ability may not be as strong as their classmates.
