About this book
Along the Maine coast, thirteen-year-old Blair Robertson leads the boys of Fairport in swimming, sailing and lively talk about the war with England. The son of a pilot, he has earned their respect through skill on the water and success at school. His patriotic speech on a wharf turns a holiday gathering into a tense encounter when an English boy passes through the crowd.
Blair's courage takes a different form aboard the Molly, where he gives a treasured knife to a rough sailor and asks him to curb his angry language. The exchange shows the Christian purpose of this children's story: conviction must be carried into difficult company through generosity and personal example.
