This was a pretty decent book. It read a lot like Treasure Island and was full of sea-faring adventure. A young man whose parents die of the plague is accused of stealing bread. He is bought as a slave by the baker who accused him, only to be kidnapped the first night at the baker's. His kidnappers are a band of salty dogs in service to the Queen and he is forced to serve as mapmaker and anything else that needs doing aboard ship. I liked the story, although some of it dragged a bit. This is a great book, especially for adventure-loving boys, 4th grade and up.
