When Oona Britt was born in the magical town of Nordlor, where all of the homes are
built from wrecked ships, her parents never expected her to be a girl. Having listened
to a faulty prediction from a washed-up soothsayer, they were promised a “bold and
brave son,” so as the youngest of seven sisters, Oona’s birth became a
disappointment—especially to her sea captain father, who doesn’t believe there’s a
place for girls aboard ships.

But Oona is different from the rest of her family. She longs for adventure and
knowledge. So she steals aboard her father’s ship just as he’s about to set sail for his
annual winter whale hunt, and suddenly finds herself in the midst of a grand
adventure! The ship has its own sea cat, Barnacles, and a navigator named Haroyld,
who show Oona how to follow the stars. But for all that, Oona’s father is furious. Can
she prove to him that she’s worth his love and pride, even though she’s not the bold
and brave son he was promised?

This follow-up to The Boy, the Bird & the Coffin Maker carries just as much heart and
charm as Matilda Woods’s first novel. The characters, story, and illustrations will
dazzle readers.
