Voyage of the Sparrowhawk by Natasha Farrant

emotional hopeful inspiring

5.0

A delightful book club pick.. thankful my friend Michele randomly saw this on one the library shelf because it was not on my radar (maybe because it was originally pubbed in the UK?). This would be a fantastic family or class readaloud. It has adventure and excitement but also presents tough family themes (delicately) and has a wonderful friendship story, in fact I think that’s its strongest quality. The characters are lovely and while it has some predictable elements, it also takes its readers by surprise at some points. Fun connection can be made with studying how canal locks work and looking at different types of boats. Definitely a future pick for my library, for fans of A Place to Hang the Moon.
