Castaways of the Flying Dutchman by Brian JacquesDescription:
A mute 14-year-old nameless boy runs away from his life as a abused orphan. Without knowing it, he steals a ride on the Flying Dutchman. When the ship docks at Esbjerg, a dog walks onto the deck and becomes friends with the boy. Throughout the novel, the boy and the dog strengthen the bond between their friendship.
My Thoughts:
I love how the boy ,who is later named Neb by the cook on the ship, befriends the dog and they become great companions, always working together as a team.
Recommendation:
I would recommend this book to middle schoolers.
