by Laurie Lawlor
Emmet, a fifteen-year-old orphan, learns hard lessons about survival when he sails from England in 1577 as a servant aboard the Golden Hind--the ship of his cousin, the explorer and pirate Francis Drake--on its three-year circumnavigation of the world.
"Based as closely as possible on the sometimes-scant historical record, Lawlor's work is full of adventure and lively detail."
