This book is a good introduction for the younger reader to a naval historical novel. It is a classic scenario where a tomboy girl disguises herself as a boy and sets off to find her parents in America. She hides aboard a Royal Navy three masted sloop of war and then discovers it has set sail. She is mistaken for one of the crew and learns about knots and splices in Rope School and life aboard a sloop. A war is being fought against America and her ship battles with an American ship giving a surprising outcome. It is any easy read and the adventure moves on with a good pace for the young reader and adult alike. The paperback is printed in quite large print so help reading while at sea. - SL
