America Jones: The Beginning

America Jones is asleep in her cabin aboard a sailing vessel. She dreams of her parents, her friend Biscuit, and the crew of her beloved ship. Suddenly, she hears a deep, throaty voice singing off key. The feared pirate Singing Bob has boarded the ship and America's life will never be the same. Soon, the crew of the S.S. New, sailing from London in the mid 1400's, will come to depend on America's spirit and her beautiful voice. Short in the length, but rich in language, this story engages young readers with adventure, bravery, signing, and friendship.
