SHORTLISTED: ESTWA Children's Travel Book of the Year

'An inspirational ocean adventure'

Bear Grylls

Lucy wants to explore the world,
and do something daring and difficult. But people laugh at her when she hatches
a plan to row across the Atlantic Ocean.

So her family rallies round to
help prepare for the journey, loading her boat with supplies for 3,000 miles of
rowing. Her school friends follow her from afar, learning about the ocean, its
wildlife and pollution.

Alone at sea, Lucy faces
seasickness, storms and a very sore bottom, not to mention close encounters
with ships and a humpback whale. Yet there are also the joys of wandering
seabirds, shooting stars and magical sunsets, as she finds she is capable of
more than she ever imagined.

Step aboard and join Lucy on her
life-changing adventure to become the girl who rowed the ocean.

The ocean-going follow-up to the
bestselling The Boy Who Biked the World trilogy.
