Produktbeschreibung

In 1932 Seattle, police haul away 13-year-old Bet Lindstrom's father for a crime he didn't commit. Refusing to wait for the wheels of justice to turn, she slips aboard her father's ship, a cod-fishing schooner bound for Alaska. She hopes to track down the real criminal and bring home proof of her father's innocence.

Life at sea is colder, harsher, and riskier than Bet ever imagined. Storms threaten the ship at every turn. Some officers don't want a stowaway upsetting the crew, while others welcome her keen intelligence. As the voyage cuts through Unimak Pass in the Aleutians and into the wide, gray Bering Sea, Bet learns the ropes, earns unlikely allies, and uncovers whispers of a secret that could wreck more than the ship's catch. To survive, she must outsmart storms and liars alike, deciding how much she's willing to risk for the people she loves.

Brisk, heart-felt, and rich with nautical detail, this young adult historical fiction highlights a brave female protagonist whose courage shines against the backdrop of the Great Depression. Perfect for young readers who enjoy mystery, history, adventure, and heroines who take charge. If you love books by Ruta Sepetys (Salt of the Sea), Elizabeth Wein (Code Name Verity), and Jennifer Nielsen (Iceberg), you'll love the story of Bet Lindstrom as she navigates a male-dominated world and outsmarts the criminals using her newfound knowledge.

Autorenporträt

I've loved science fiction ever since I wrote my first Star Trek fanfic story at age 12. Now, I'm pursuing my dream of writing science fiction novels, but with a modern emphasis on our planet's changing climate. I'm working on a series of novels titled Carbon Run, Restoration, and Antarctica 2261. I hope to publish these by 2017.

I've already published a young adult novel, titled Bet: Stowaway Daughter, based on my research into the history of the schooner Wawona. I've told the ship's story in Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen: The Story of the Schooner Wawona, and the ebook Blowing Out the Stink: Life on a Lumber and Cod Schooner 1897-1947.

My interest in maritime history spurred me to publish two travel guides: The Fyddeye Guide to America's Maritime History, and The Fyddeye Guide to America's Lighthouses. I've also written three books on streaming media.

I live in Seattle with my wife, a chicken, and a weakness for anything with too much sugar.
