Description
Greece 562 BC. In a time of great hardship, twelve-year-old Diossos faces an impossible choice: save his family from slavery or risk everything to rescue them. With only days to grow up and a month to complete his quest, Diossos must brave treacherous landscapes, wild animals, slave-catchers, pirates, and police. His journey is filled with white-knuckle twists and turns, engaging characters, and sparkling humor. A story of high adventure, Wind from the Hospitable Sea has been a staple in Eastern European bookshelves since 1946, captivating readers with its tempo and style reminiscent of Treasure Island and The Three Musketeers.
