The Admiral and the Deck Boy: One Boy's Journey with Christopher Columbus by Genevieve O'Connor

From School Library Journal: "This is the story of Carlos, a 12-year-old apprentice to the ship's carpenter on the vessels being outfitted for Columbus's voyage, who signs on as a deck boy. He comes to thrive on the rigors of sea life and is unswerving in his admiration of Columbus. Superstitious sailors' fears, murmurings of mutiny, and disappointment at the failure to find the promised gold are all vividly conveyed. O'Connor depicts Columbus as a thoughtful man, a shrewd admiral, and a leader of men."

These come from a non-smoking and no pet home. I would prefer to be paid by a money order (in which case I will ship immediately) but will also accept a personal check (in which case I will ship once your check clears). Sorry, but I do not take paypal. If you would like insurance, add an additional $1.75.

Feel free to email with questions. If you are serious about purchasing, please give your name and address in confirmation. Email me at kareni29@ yahoo.com (take out the space).

Thanks for looking.
