By the celebrated author of The Pear Affair and The Secret Starling - Patch finds adventure on every deck of the 'floating palace' she accidentally stows away on. Liverpool, 1910 When Patch runs up the gangway of steamship, RMS Glorious, she isn't planning to hang around. But if she leaves her hiding place the constable might catch her: sitting tight is worth the risk. Too late, she realises the ship is setting sail! Patch has become an accidental stowaway. Luckily, Patch's unconventional past has made her pretty fearless when it comes to fending for herself, and besides there are friends in high and low places to be made onboard. But hiding away becomes less and less easy: her new friends urgently need her help and there's a mystery that needs solving, all before they reach New York . . .

Rezensionen

The Accidental Stowaway by Judith Eagle sucked me in like a whirlpool . . . I love Patch, her fearlessness and itchy feet.

An engaging historical adventure.

Full of adventure and fun

A brilliantly written and illustrated mystery that completely captivated me. Full of intrigue and with themes of friendship, family, belonging, love, trust and loyalty this is a gem of a book and is storytelling at its best.

A rollicking, salty, breath of fresh air. Gorgeous period detail. Great friendships. I feel like I've been on an adventure.

Exquisite storytelling, sublime characterisation and the most intriguing setting brought to life with rich and vivid descriptions.'

Exciting, funny and full of warmth this is a great adventure story cleverly shaped by the special features of being on a big sea crossing.

Absolutely adored it! Pacy, witty, with more ups & downs than a mid Atlantic swell.

A voyage to NYC and a page-turning adventure, brimming with sea spray, spirit & wanderlust. An all round joy to read.
