In 1717, fourteen-year-old Nathan Gull's country-parson father dies insolvent. He finds an unlikely rescuer in Tamo White, the young son of a wealthy pirate from Madagascar and his native wife. Tired of England, Tamo returns home and takes Nathan and his mousy, prudish sister with him. Readers will devour this riveting, thoughtful tale of both piracy and the clash of cultures.
