Adventure on the High Sea!

By Susan Barry Blair

"Adventure on the High Sea " is a true story for young readers ages 8 to 13 but should also appeal to a parent s sense of adventure. A young girl and her family set out for the adventure opportunity of a lifetime. It's an exciting story about a family's life onboard a 38-foot sailboat and their many experiences along the way. They embark on a year-long voyage beginning in England with proposed stops in Spain, the Canary Islands, the Caribbean and Bermuda. Nothing ever goes as planned and their journey detours to Africa and later to America where they eventually settled.

True Adventure

Great story and adventure to relive through the eyes of one who was there

What a great TRUE story...

of family cooperation, perseverance and adventure! I always thought I was the adventuresome type, but the Barry family puts me to shame. Following their trip from England to the U.S. was fun and insightful, plus a fantastic geography lesson for my 5th grader! He loved looking at the atlas to follow their route. It's so nice to find a book that's not only entertaining, but also educational. A great read!!!
