The Voyage Of Patience Goodspeed

October 1835, Patience Goodspeed, almost 13 years old, departs frorm Nantucket aboard her father;s whaling ship. Between kitchen duty & whale blubber stench, this voyage is far from a pleasure cruise. At least Papa les Patience assist the ship's navigator since she's so good at calculations. But the smooth sailing doesn't last long. Mutinous mates maroon most of the crew, including Patience's father & brother, on a deserted island. Can Patience rescue everyone before it's too late? A memorable historical adventure with a brave heroine.
