A Lad From Sardinia The Adventures of Morgan Harmony (YA) The year is 1622. Morgan Harmony, along with his young brother and their Aunt Harmy, boards a square-rigged warship, captained by his great uncle Willum. The ship is commissioned by the high courts of Spain to rid the Mediterranean Sea of pirates, to make the Med safe for commercial trade, and to give aid to any in need on the waters.
The Age of Sail comes alive as every day brings new adventures, dangers, new lessons to learn . . . and of course, maturity.
Miss Roseanna Lynn, a lass pulled from the sea - having escaped her pirate captors, becomes Morgan's compelling and close friend; together they become skilled in the ways of the sea . . . and budding love.
The story is a page-turner from start to finish, with just the right mix of adventure, dangers, romance, ethics, and humor. Will be enjoyed by readers of all ages . . . and it's all set in verse!
So, come along! Have your cutlass at the ready, your flintlock secure in your belt! Join Morgan and the crew as they battle pirates, listen to Aunt Harmy explain scriptural principles to a rowdy crew, visit various ports of call from the western side of Italy to Gibralter and beyond.
