An absolutely enthralling story of Nathaniel Bowditch, who went from an indentured servant as a teenager to one of the most well-known and brilliant men who changed the course of navigation (pun intended).

Excellent historical fiction. All ages from elementary through adult will enjoy and learn. Based solidly in fact.

This is one of our family's favorite read-aloud books. It is a great lesson on taking your education into your own hands and being persistent.
