Luke on the High Seas

165 pp. | HarperCollins | June, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-688-17134-6 $$14.95
(4) 4-6 American Adventures series. Illustrated by Bert Dodson. This sequel to Luke: 1849--On the Golden Trail finds the young Iowan aboard a clipper ship bound for California's gold fields. Predictable adventures (shark attacks, pirate chases) and an engaging, albeit formulaic, mystery (a cabin boy turns out to be a runaway girl) make for navigable historical fiction. An author's note describes clipper ship travel in the 1850s.
