The Dagger Quick

(3) 4-6 Kitto, a clubfooted cooper's apprentice in seventeenth-century England, longs to go to sea. After his father is murdered, the boy, armed with the dagger Dad left him, finds himself on his pirate uncle's ship with only his own judgment to tell him whom to trust. Action abounds in the story, with just enough information held back to keep readers guessing.
