(2) 4-6 In this vivid novel set in nineteenth-century England, narrator Tom Tin, fourteen, is charged with murder and taken in chains to a grounded prison ship for boys. Lawrence matches the inventiveness of his villains and martyrs with plot twists that include death and brutality aboard the ship and Tom's fateful trip on a ruined slaver bound for Australia.
