In the early 19th century, a 14-year-old English boy floats alone in the ocean, his ship and his family lost in a great storm. The ghost of an ancient mariner appears, assuring him that he will survive and that great things await him. Rescued by an English warship, John Terrell begins a life of service in the Royal Navy. With the help of his shipmates and his ghostly mentor, his adventures begin.Tags

I really loved this story. The vivid scenes described by the author made one almost taste the salty air or feel the heat of the sun on bare skin. I am reminded of my own love of the sea and boats of all kinds, but also of being sea sick in those huge, slow waves that slowly rock you into that dizzy and swirling place you just want to move away from as quickly as possible. An amazing adventure for folks of all ages who, like Jimmy Buffet says, were born 200 years too late.
