It's been a long time since I read this book, but it has stuck with me for over 10 years.

This was probably the first book that I read cover to cover on my own, for a school assignment. I believe I was 14 or 15, I can't quite remember because it was school and it was so long ago.

I recently bought this book myself, because my mom couldn’t find the ragged copy I had from my teenage days. (It was a hand-me-down from my older brother).

I loved this book, it had a few of my favorite things. Three masted (could have been four I can't remember) schooner,(aka tall ships), the ocean, (I grew up on an Island) and munity.

The tail itself is one of self-discovery and the evils that are all around use. Some as close as, say, a clean cut looking Captain, who is black as tar when you aren't looking.

I'm going to read this book again and add to this review, because there are certain scenes that I remember clearly but I want to know if they’re accurate before wiring any more.

I recommend this book with the hope you will remember that this took place in 1832. Different time, different society.

Until Then

Happy Reading
