A note for parents

This is a nonfiction account of the 2010 San José mine disaster and rescue, written for adult audiences but accessible to mature teens interested in survival stories and real-world events. While the subject matter involves a traumatic accident and extended entrapment, the focus is on human resilience, international cooperation, and hope rather than graphic detail. The book contains some strong language and references to miners' coping mechanisms, but nothing gratuitously exploitative.
