From the Newbury winner for OUT OF THE DUST (my favorite YA book of all time): Eleven-year-old Nicholas Young is about to embark on the journey of his life. In August 1768, he sneaks on board the H.M.S. Endeavour , piloted by famous explorer Captain James Cook, only to find that the ship is destined for an exciting adventure around the world.

Daisey This is one I was thinking about as well. Good choice! 4mo

Littens,

I have an announcement to make… 📣

My boyfriend and I will be expecting a daughter to arrive on the birthing deck in April 2023! 💞

No doubt about it I‘ll be pushing the books on her! 📚 And the pirates 🏴‍☠️ and the love of Pride & Prejudice ☺️

Her current “name” is the Stowaway, it‘s a nautical term, as Cpt. Jack Sparrow says.

MatchlessMarie The stowaway! I love it. Congrats 🎊 2y

Karen Hesse seems to better known for her novels in verse, but this fictionalized journal of a boy who stowed away on the Endeavor and joined James Cook's voyage around the world is probably my favorite of her books.

I'm spending the afternoon in my classroom waiting to work gate for the football game and supposedly working ahead on plans for the next few weeks. However, my time so far has been spent perusing my shelves for a #bookrainbow! 🌈
