I am doing the 6-6-6 Around the World Reading Challenge again this year, but of course everything is different during the pandemic and I anticipated more trouble than usual in getting books set in 36 different countries... so I ordered a bunch of them from bookoutlet.ca; they came today and this book was amongst them.

This was a nice, interesting read. It is kind of a Young Readers book, which I didn't realize when I ordered it, so it was a quick read.

I remembered this happening of course, but I didn't know a lot of details about it so it was cool to read a little more. Although it's about a terrible incident, it's ultimately a hopeful story with a happy ending-- people from all over work together towards a common goal, and they achieve it. Everyone survives. Given the craziness and the stress and the unknowns that this pandemic year has brought into my own life, this kind of story is extra nice to read right now.
