The sea plays a large part in the story, and the nautical aspects are explained well enough that I, having never sailed a boat, could easily imagine what the characters are doing on board. The final few chapters are thrillingly tense, and very exciting. Just very occasionally, when you have a new book to read by a new author, you find that you have come across a book that deserves to become a classic. This was definitely one of those books. I loved it all the way through, from start to finish, and would highly recommend it to adventure-loving children, and adults too.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Heart of Stone by Melanie Welsh]].
