Book Overview

When theMorning Starsets sail on the Pacific in 1836, fourteen-year-old Patience Goodspeed can't wait to be the assistant navigator. But when danger strikes, Captain Goodspeed whisks his children, Patience and Tad, and their aunt Anne off to a boarding school in Hawaii until the ship returns. Here Reverend Wiggins, the headmaster, thinks girls should study sewing instead of math.Then there's more trouble in paradise: Fanny Starbuck, a widow from Nantucket, is the silliest and frilliest etiquette teacher ever. And Patience discovers that Fanny's been writing love letters to the ship; fetching a proposal from Papa, for sure!Sometimes growing up on dry land can be even rockier than a voyage on the sea, but Patience is about to learn that true friendship will sail her through it.

Sharp, funny adventure for all ages

I read the author's first book, The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed, and was happy to hear that a sequel was coming out. I highly, highly recommend it. It's a thoroughly absorbing, funny tale combining distinctive characters and an unusual setting (a girl's school in Hawaii in the mid-1800s). The main character, Patience, is extremely likable and I'm sure would be appealing to any girl between the ages of about 9-13 or so. I read this in one sitting. A great read!
