The Unlikely Odyssey of Boreas Wind

By Mina Witman

When twelve-year-old Boreas "Bo" Wind reluctantly leaves his home in Amsterdam to join his parents on a voyage around the world, he expects boredom--not danger. But as fierce stroms, daring rescues, and unforgettable encounters test his courage, Bo discovers that life at sea can change him in ways he never imagined.

Blending high-stakes adventure with themes of family, resilience, and environmental stewardship, The Unlikely Odyssey of Boreas Wind is an action-packed middle grade novel by Dutch American author Mina Witteman. As Bo travels across the globe, he faces the challenges of life at sea while gaining a deeper understanding of himself, his family, and the fragile world around him.

Featuring black-and-white logbook illustrations by Carlos V lez, The Unlikely Odyssey of Boreas Wind offers young readers a memorable coming-of-age story about courage, curiosity, and an unforgettable life at sea.
