(2) K-3 Manjiro, fourteen, survives being lost at sea in the 1840s. Rescued by whalers, he's taken to New England where he diligently equips himself with the skills to return to Japan almost ten years later. The story is well told and involving. Alternating half- and full-page watercolors provide atmosphere and historic detail. An informative note and a world map of Manjiro's travels are appended. Websites. Bib.
