Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Simontor
Stowaway is the story of Nick Young, a boy who is smuggled aboard the H.M.S Endeavor sailing under captain cook. The story is filled with realistic content and engages you in it's interesting story and puts you in the shoes of the real main character, Nickolas Young.

This book sucked!!!!!!! I swear I fell asleep reading it, standing up!!!!!!! Sorry to whoever wrote this if you read this, but I really seriously think it shold be taken off the approved reading list at my school, because it could hurt someone to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they make a movie out of it I will scream soooo loud that Karen Hesse all the way out in "who knows where" (cause I tried to look up where she lived and all it said was "i'm in my fourty-sixes and very lucky...blah blah blah) will hear me. Thank you for your time.

This was the best book ever. I could read it over and over again. If I had to choose one thing to read for the rest of my life I would choose this book!
