Meer over de auteur

Ivo Senden (1977) was op de basisschool al een graag gelezen verhaaltjesschrijver voor de schoolkrant. Hij studeerde in 2000 af aan de PABO, maar verloor tijdens een bijbaan zijn hart aan de bioscoopwereld, waarna een periode van vijftien jaar als medewerker van het Royal Theater in Heerlen volgde. De rijke geschiedenis van deze bioscoop was in 2008 het onderwerp van zijn eerste, gepubliceerde boek, vormgegeven door Leon van Dorp. Voorafgaand deed Ivo Senden al schrijfervaring op met enkele niet gepubliceerde manuscripten in het komische genre en in 2009 schreef hij de thriller Controle, die als e-boek zijn weg op het internet vond.

Als kleinzoon van zowel een koempel als een opzichter, kreeg hij zijn interesse voor het mijnverleden met de paplepel ingegoten. Hij combineerde deze interesse, zijn liefde voor regionale geschiedenis en een goed verhaal, dat leest als een film, in de mijnwerkersroman Zwarte Droom, die begin 2015, het Jaar van de Mijnen, verschijnt.

Well done!
Format: Kindle
Young, bloodied, sleep deprived and starving, not to mention being surrounded by an army of hungry sharks! It seems almost unimaginable that a sixteen-year-old could experience such a harrowing ordeal and live to tell about it. The story of young Josh, a baseball loving kid from San Antonio, Texas, who forges his mothers signature in order to join the Navy, takes place in 1945 near the end of WWII aboard the USS Indianapolis. After being struck by a Japanese torpedo, the mighty Naval ship sinks, thrusting the survivors into an unforgiving ocean for five harrowing days. The story is fast-paced with lots of action without being overly graphic and is the perfect for middle-schoolers with a penchant for excitement! There's also a great friendship angle which was really great to see especially since the boy Josh befriends (Lee) is of Japanese decent. At the time Josh bears a lot of resentment towards the Japanese since his father was killed when the Japanese bombed Pear Harbor so I think this offers an excellent 'teaching moment' for kids today. The book is chock-full of numerous interesting facts about the USS Indianapolis which I hadn't known before reading the book. Of note, it states that the sinking of the USS Indianapolis resulted in the largest number of shark attacks on humans in history, which I think is a little known and very interesting fact! Well done!

A fast paced and exciting read
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis by a Japanese submarine towards the end of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of a sixteen year old boy, Josh, who lied about his age on his enlistment application and forged his mother's signature. He was determined to do his bit for the American war effort and revenge the death of his father during the attack on Pearl Harbour. When the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed, the survivors, about three quarters of the crew, were flung into the ocean without any survival equipment. Many of them did not even have life jackets and were burned by the fire that had broken out on board the ship or injured when they were swept overboard. The scent of urine and blood soon attracts sharks, lots of sharks, and the survivors fear that they have survived the sinking of the ship only to become food for these huge and vicious fish. The story is short and sharp and I think middle school and young teenage boys will really enjoy it. The author shares some details of the attack and sinking of the ship, without making it to graphic and over whelming for younger readers. Boys, particularly, will relate to the action packed excitement of the attack and also to Josh's thoughts about his mother and younger brother back home. The terrible hardship of being in the ocean for a few days, without food or water, the temptation to drink sea water to alleviate the dreadful thirst and the savage behavior of some of the other survivors are all well told but not with so much detail that younger readers will become overwhelmed or bored. Josh's relationship with another young survivor, Lee, who is of Japanese extraction is also most interesting and contains a good message of delving deeper into relationships and people that merely their heritage and looks.
