Syms Covington has landed the job of a lifetime - cabin boy and

fiddler on Charles Darwin's Beagle - but when he is separated from

the crew during a storm, his life takes a truly extraordinary

turn.

Shipwrecked on a Galapagos island, he makes a discovery that could

change the world - and make his fortune. But should he share

his find, or will it lead to the extinction of a legendary species?

There's one person who could help, but he's busy writing a book

...

Based on a true story and Charles Darwin's real journal!

Perfect for fans of Cornelia Funke's Dragon Rider

or Cressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon series.

Effortlessly blends exciting adventure with a rip-roaring

historical story and non-fiction elements.
