About the Book

Edition 2018. Simply point your phone QR reader at the code and it opens like magic to a vast array of interesting extra knowledge, videos and references. The adventure never lets up, and the characters set good examples of manliness, dignity, and honor. It is very suitable for a good present to a boy over 9 years old, up to 99 years old. Subtitled "A Tale of the Spanish Main" this is an enjoyable book with lots of history easy to digest and learn. Ned Hearne - a brave, intelligent teen from Plymouth meets English privateer Francis Drake (not a "Sir" yet) and his adventures begin. Along with three friends Ned takes along through the Elizabethan years and events leading up to the Spanish Armada and the subsequent fact of Britannia becoming the preeminent sea power. This story was set in the 1600's. It is about a boy of fifteen and his name is Ned. He lived in England with his father. His nickname was Otter because he swam very well. He saved a child from drowning when a ship hit a reef. Captain Francis Drake was on shore when Ned was doing this. And after the incident Drake asked Ned to join him on his ship to find the North West passage. Ned went through all sorts of adventures. He killed a shark, lived with runaway slaves for six months, and even was on an island where the natives thought of him as a god. He fought the Spaniards and also the Indians. He pretended to be a Spaniard that was raised by Indians. He was almost killed several times. But he was very smart and knew how to get out of those kinds of situations. I give this book a rating of five stars. I think it is a very good book! It is full of adventure. I read this out loud to my 11 and 8 year olds. They both LOVED it! G. A. Henty has true eloquence with words, which I enjoyed, but the kids were just drawn in by the adventure! ! What a great way to learn history. ! It's a wonderful book to read aloud as a family or just by yourself. Yet on the details of the history involved, there is much to learn, as Henty was a meticulous man who recorded as fully as possible the events he describes. He is equally good at sea as on land and has written some classics of maritime literature.
