Twelve year old Shipwreck was saved by the crew of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, a formidable pirate ship with a rat as the figurehead, and has served as the cabin boy to Captain Gallows. It's 1846 and the ship has come into port in San Diego. It's been one rousing adventure after another and that is not about to change. Shipwreck is trying to get back home to Boston but meanwhile he'll join his good Captain in hiding a treasure chest, battling his archenemy and watching true love unfold. We're talking jewels, bandits, robberies, and finding yourself. For a look back at the coming of age of the State of California, this book coupled with By the Great Horned Spoon makes an adventure and an education. Great fun and quite a page turner. Ages 8-12 208 pages
