Thunder from the Sea: Adventure on Board the HMS Defender

48 pp. | Putnam | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25089-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 Young Jack Hoyton has joined the British Royal Navy and is assigned to the frigate HMS Defender. Aboard the ship, he's surrounded by intrigue. The sophisticated story revolves around the Defender's task blockading a French town during the Napoleonic Wars. The cartoon-panel illustrations are too tightly packed with dialogue bubbles, but sidebars on each page help explain life in the navy. Reading list. Bib.
