About this title:
Be careful what you ask for…
1609
Pampered, sixteen-year-old Alice Drinkard craves adventure. When her controlling, debt-ridden parents announce they’ll be sailing to Jamestown to regain their fortune, she’s thrilled to escape England for the New World.
But the journey is perilous, and only two weeks from arrival, the fleet encounters a hurricane. Separated from the other ships, with their vessel taking on water, the survivors land on an uninhabited island sailors call the Isle of Devils. With limited supplies, the castaways must rely on each other for survival.
Then one simple question tears the group apart: Who’s in charge?
As the men battle for control, disputes turn violent. Whispers lead to mutinies… and death. Unlike the quarreling adults, Alice knows the truth about who’s driving the conflict. But will anyone listen to a teenaged girl? Or is everyone’s life in danger?
Castaway on the Isle of Devils is an adventure tale based on the true fate of the Sea Venture, the shipwreck that inspired William Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
