Stowaway
by Karen Hesse Author
It is known that in the summer of 1768, Captain James Cook sailed from England on H.M.S. Endeavour, beginning a three-year voyage around the world. What is less known is that a boy by the name of Nicholas Young was a stowaway on that ship. Newbery winner Karen Hesse re-creates Cook's momentous voyage through the eyes of this remarkable boy, creating a fictional journal filled with fierce hurricanes, warring natives, and disease, as Nick discovers new lands, incredible creatures, and lifelong friends.
