Ship of Fire

(3) YA A physician and his teenage apprentice are hired to work aboard Sir Francis Drake's flagship. Shortly after setting sail, the doctor dies and young Thomas must take over his position. The narrative presents a wonderfully detailed portrait of life aboard a sixteenth-century war vessel, and readers can hope that the unfinished conclusion points to a sequel.
