Illustrated by
Emily Harris.
The love of the sea is hard to ignore for Annabel, who learned to sail in a little sloop she and her father built. Destined for larger boats and adventures around the world, she never forgets her beginnings, and she returns to Papa as captain of her own boat. Stiff narrative and figures detract from the lovely coastal landscapes.
