Dave Porter in the South Seas; Or, The Strange Cruise of the Stormy Petrel
Dave Porter in the South Seas; Or, The Strange Cruise of the Stormy Petrel
Dave Porter grew up in a poorhouse with no memory of his parents, no name to call his own, and no future anyone thought worth fighting for. That changes when he's taken in by a wealthy benefactor and sent to Oak Hall School, where he finds friendship, purpose, and a burning question: who was he before the institution claimed him? When hints emerge that his origins lie in the South Seas, Dave convinces his friends to join him on a voyage aboard the schooner Stormy Petrel. But the Pacific holds more than answers. There are rival treasure hunters, treacherous waters, and a schoolyard enemy, Gus Plum, whose grudge follows them across the ocean. This is adventure fiction at its most optimistic: a story where courage matters more than circumstance, where a boy without a past can still carve out a future worth fighting for. Stratemeyer understood exactly what young readers wanted, action, camaraderie, and the intoxicating promise that the world is wide enough to hold all your dreams.
