The narrator is a thirteen-year-old boy named Tom Cringle who joins the British navy in 1812. The ship he is stationed on, the Bream, heads for the Carribean to guard the colonies.

A Historical Ficton Likers book

This review is from: Tom Cringle: Battle on the High Seas (Hardcover)
This adventure set during the War of 1812 has many of the elements found in classic sea stories: There's storms, a shipwreck, pirates, a brave young hero, and more. The narrator is a thirteen-year-old boy named Tom Cringle who joins the British navy in 1812. The ship he is stationed on, the Bream, heads for the Carribean to guard the colonies. Along the way he makes friends and enemies, survives storms, a shipwreck, and a terrible disease, and is captured by pirates. The book was similiar to those in the My Name is America series in that it told of historical events through a young boy's journal. Highly reccomended if you like that series, historical fiction, sea stories, or good, old fashioned adventure.

My favorite part is when the battle happened near the end, and the whole crew was very, very brave!
