Faces in the Flames: A Ghost Story relates how fourteen-year-old Cam and his dad go on a trip to the South Pacific islands to SCUBA dive. They want to see Cam s grandfather s sunken ship, the Mississinewa, that was attacked in WWII. Since the ship is now a war grave where sailors were killed, Cam is told not to enter or take anything from it. Cam enters the ship anyway and takes something he shouldn t. He ends up bringing home something much more frightening than just a shiny keepsake. Included in the book is Faces in the Flames: The True Story, which tells the actual story of the USS Mississinewa, the first US Navy ship to be sunk by Japan s suicide submarine, Kaiten, in WWII. This short, non-fictional account highlights the actions of eleven sailors as they struggled to abandon the blazing ship.
