I Survived The Hindenburg Disaster Summary
Personal Response: I really liked the book </>I Survived The Hindenburg Disaster by Lauren Tarshis. I enjoyed the part where Hugo had to protect his friend who was a U.S. spy. He had to distract him so the spy could get away. The reason Hugo was in an area he wasn't supposed to be was because he was trying to get his sister's dog for her because she had malaria. There was an evil looking man that caught him and asked why he was in that restricted area. He froze in place and didn't know what to say, but the spy still managed to get away and Hugo got his dog for his sister. I also liked the part where one of the ship members threw Hugo out the window to save him from the crash.
Plot: The book started off where Hugo and his family had to go to the U.S. from Kenya. They needed to go back to the U.S. for the cure for Malaria that Gertie had gotten. She was getting high fevers, which is the reason they had to go back to the U.S. They had seen a doctor before in Germany but he couldn't help them so they had to go to New York to see another doctor to get the cure. During a ride Gertie wanted her dog so Hugo went into the restricted area which was the cargo hold to go and get the dog for his sister. Even though Hugo went in the cargo hold he was scared because there was word that there was a spy on the Hindenburg. He …show more content…
His parents were taking him on the Hindenburg with his sister to see another doctor to hopefully cure his sister of malaria.
Setting: In May of 1937 the Hindenburg was attempting to land in New Jersey when it caught fire. They had gone 4000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a Zeppelin which was as big as the Titanic was.
Recommend: I rated this book four out of five stars because I really liked how Hugo risked a lot for his sister. Also, because I never really knew about the Hindenburg until I read this book. I recommend this book to anyone from the ages of 10 to
