I adore historical fiction, and I am very pleased to see that this series is accessible for younger readers as well. This story is a classic tale of high seas adventure, with the theme of living life to its fullest. The protagonist finds himself unfulfilled by his life, even though he is well provided for, and seeks adventures by stowing away on a boat destined for the new world.The lessons learned by inserting himself into a dangerous spot makes for a coming of age story interspersed with some rather life threatening situations.I think this story is on par with some of the renown classics, and I look forward to reading the next installment.
