About the Book

Based on John Jewitt's journals, this artful book of historical fiction recounts an amazing slice of history After his ship is burned and his shipmates killed, John Jewitt lived as a captive of the Mowachaht Indians for three years on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Readers can follow Jewitt's adventures in this graphic novel as he plies his skills as a blacksmith, saves the life of his only remaining crew member, and comes up with a strategy to free them both.

Review :
Featured in "The Washington Post"'s round up of debut books at the Small Press Expo 2015 "An entertaining and informative presentation of a true-life adventure that will be new to many. Recommended for fans of Gary Paulsenesque survival stories and Pacific Northwest history""Library Journal" "In retelling Jewitt's story, Goldfield draws not only upon Jewitt's journals (kept in secret throughout his captivity), but also on other historical records, contemporary First Nations sources, and her own imagination. The result is a character-driven survival storyone in which Jewitt's genuine rapport with his captors conflicts with his unwavering desire to return home. The full-color illustrations (done by penciler Short, inker Dembicki, and colorist Keeling)...establish a strong sense of the time, the place, and Mowachaht culture. A respectful, leisurely paced work of historical fiction. (Graphic historical fiction. 12-18)" "Kirkus" "The artwork is stunning, giving us a visual of the Island and the people, and what a wonderful way to experience the history and the geography. And the writing is a terrific example of creative nonfiction. The historical and cultural facts are true, but presented in a compelling story." "Maryann Writes" blog "I learned a lot about the Mowachaht from the early 19th century, which was what I hoped for. That's as much due to Michael Short's images as to...Goldfield's words. She gives life to the story and tells it in a clear and compelling way. She's aided by impressive inks from Matt Dembicki and a gorgeous color palette from Evan Keeling that brings to the page very nicely the beauty of the Pacific Northwest." "Michael May's Adventure" blog "Fans of graphic novels and real life stories plucked from the history books should be drawn to read "Captive of Friendly Cove: Based on the Secret Journals of John Jewitt."" "Mother Daughter Book Club" blog "Have you read a graphic novel? If not, why not try this one or get it for a young adult reader you may know." "SlingWords" blog " "In retelling Jewitt's story, Goldsmith draws not only upon Jewitt's journals (kept in secret throughout his captivity), but also on other historical records, contemporary First Nations sources, and her own imagination.
