Publisher's Synopsis
Perfect for fans of animal adventures and sailing, this exciting middle grade novel from a veteran elementary educator tells the story of a young boy thrust into an adventure he doesn't want anything to do with.
When eleven year old Charlie Adams sets sail with his father for unknown lands, things could not be worse. He's alone-his only friend, his cat Newman, left behind and he won't see him again for two years! Charlie has to learn to survive on the harsh world of an English galleon in 1590 with the captain of the ship being his father. He makes an unexpected friendship that could cause disaster for the ship and her crew. For as they progress in their journey, the dangers increase. It's not just the Spanish that's after them, there is something else following, under the water, left forgotten in the depths of time and horror. Charlie has to make a decision that all must at some time in life. What's stronger, love or hate?
