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.
