Description
The Wanderer is a beautifully written and moving story of adventure, self-discovery, and one girl's independence. Thirteen-year-old Sophie sets sail for England with her three uncles and two cousins, promising herself adventure and discovery as she hears the sea calling.
Through Sophie's travel logs, we hear stories of the past and the daily challenges of surviving at sea. As The Wanderer sails toward its destination, its passengers search for their places in the world. With a quietly luminous heroine at its heart, this intimate novel poetically connects journey with self-discovery.
A poignant and powerful tale of growth and resilience, The Wanderer is a story that will resonate with a broad range of readers.
