The year is 1627, and a ship loaded with children is headed to the colony of Jamestown. The children are not passengers, but homeless orphans from the streets of London who were captured and sold into servitude. Only two passengers onboard aren't destined for this sad fate--Kimberly Hollis and her mother, who are sailing to America to join Kimberly's father in Jamestown. Their voyage won't be easy, either. Not only is the main hold dirty and crowded with homeless children, the ship will soon battle a fierce storm and a vicious pirate seeking revenge! Exciting historical reading for ages 10-14.

As she continues her voyage to America, Kimberly meets two new friends: Abigail, a blind girl who tries to stop a crew of whalers from killing their prey, and Ethan, a Jewish boy who blames himself and tries to keep the Jewish laws to make God happy and end the curse. Then their ship, the Seven Brothers, becomes lost in a terrible fog, and everyone must work together to escape a deadly fate!
