About this book
In the narrow rows of Great Yarmouth, Patience Harrison waits anxiously for her son Jack after a quarrel drives him from the house. George Paterson offers to search the quay, where ships suggest both an escape and a source of danger. Emma Marshall places this children's novel among fishing boats, crowded streets and a household strained by a sharp tongue and years of uncertainty.
The sea adventure gives those domestic troubles a wider reach. Aboard the Galatea, Jack faces a fierce storm while remembering his mother's care and regretting the pain his departure has caused. His efforts to obey orders sit beside the narrator's direct lessons about duty, faith and responsibility. Readers interested in moral fiction for children will find a story that connects the excitement of sailing with the quieter demands of honesty and affection at home.
