Summary
1789. 14-year-old John Turnstile, arrested as a pickpocket, is offered a choice of jail or ship duty, and becomes Captain Bligh's servant aboard The Bounty. The infamous Bligh, a shrewd navigator and devoted husband and father, often antagonizes his crew… with his moodiness and rigid adherence to duty, loyalty, and honour. After six months on Tahiti, second-in-command Fletcher Christian leads a mutiny, forcing Bligh and 18 loyal crew members into a 23-foot launch with only a compass and meagre rations. For senior high readers. Some strong language, some descriptions of violence, and some descriptions of sex. c2009.
