The Quest of the Silver Swan: A Land and Sea Tale for Boys

When Brandon Tarr's sea captain father dies in a storm, the sixteen-year-old inherits more than grief. His miserly uncle has moved in, eager to claim the family home, but Brandon carries a secret: his father died whispering about diamonds hidden aboard the wrecked brig Silver Swan. Now Brandon must navigate treacherous waters both literal and familial, racing against his uncle's schemes and the dangerous waters of the Atlantic to recover his father's treasure and secure his future. The quest takes him from the rocky shores of New England to the deck of a dangerous schooner, where loyal friends and shifting loyalties will test whether a boy can become a man. W. Bert Foster delivers a rousing adventure in the great tradition of boy's literature, where fortune favors the bold and the sea keeps its secrets close.
