this was a great book and I would recomend it to many people

Betty Williams age 13

This book was really good! It taught me a ton of new words because it had a wonderful glossary. I also liked how it had the crew list in the back. One thing I did while reading was checking the map to see where they were. I highly recommend this book. TTFN
Dylan Koppinger

It was good but you they need to help us understand more of the words and show us exactly where they are at all times instead of making us figure it out by the Longitude and Latitude. Still a great book.

Stowaway is the story of Nick Young, a boy who is smuggled aboard the H.M.S Endeavor sailing under captain cook. The story is filled with realistic content and engages you in it's interesting story and puts you in the shoes of the real main character, Nickolas Young.

I thought the book showed a ton of things that I would like to do with my life. I feel like I related to the character.
