It was good but you they need to help us understand more of the words and show us exactly where they are at all times instead of making us figure it out by the Longitude and Latitude. Still a great book.

I loved this book. I read it of my own free will since I have always been into 1700's Naval stuff. (Thank's to C.s. Forester's Horatio Hornblower saga.) Recently my friends and I did a play for history Fair about Captain Cook's final voyage and this was a nice prelude to what we did our progect on. I loved the lattitude and longitude info I also likeed the glossary even though I knrew what 85% of the terms meant. It was an awsome book and I recomenmd it to every one with the same interests as me.

Michael, Age 11-Stowaway is a great book. It is written like a journal and I kept forgetting that this was not Nicholas' real journal. Karen Hesse has great skill with this type of writing. I reccomend it for ages 10-18 and give it a 5 out of 5 rating. Great book!!!

I thought that the book was very interesting. The whole time you feel like you are right next to Nicholas Young who is a stowaway on the HMS Endevour captained by James Cook. I definetly recomend this book and I think that you will love it the whole time.

I have read many good books during my 11 years of life, but this is one of the best!!!!!!!!! It was very intriguing. There were lots of exciting parts in it. I would recommend this book for kids from age 9 to 15. If I had to read one book this would be it. I just finished a project on this book and it rocked for the project I had to do. Everybody should read this great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
