About this listen
WASHINGTON'S GUNPOWDER
The Colonial Army led by George Washington has laid siege to the British forces in Boston at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, but they will have to withdraw unless they get more supplies—especially gunpowder.
This exciting historical adventure tells the tale of George Royall (a young, reluctant lieutenant in the Colonial Navy) who is charged with sailing a secret cargo of gunpowder to Boston—a daring mission that involves Dutch spies, a British blockade, and a young woman who refuses to accept her station and plays an integral part in the mission as she also captures Royall’s heart.
“Derring-do and much lore of the sea. This is satisfying fare.”—Kirkus Review
★★★★★ “This is first and foremost an adventure story. It is also, however, a good history lesson. For those who have trouble getting past history as a series of dates and big events, Leonard Wibberley’s books bring history up to where it should be: about ordinary people (and some extraordinary ones), their motives and their actions.”—Goodreads Review
SHANGHAIED & SHIPWRECKED
On his sixteenth birthday, Bill Smith’s father reads him the Parable of the Talents in the Bible and sends him from home with one hundred dollars and a charge to return in a year with his “talents” increased.
Bill immediately loses his money to a shyster and is shanghaied aboard a clipper ship bound to South America, forcing Bill on a high seas adventure filled with hardships as he travels from Argentina to the Orient and struggles to make his way back home.
“The atmosphere of the sea and of the daily life aboard a China clipper is well done. This book will be enjoyed by junior high school readers who like adventure on the sea far away and long ago.”—The Saturday Review
★★★★★ “Lots of adventure with wonderful life lessons. Entertaining historical seafaring fiction for middle grade and teen/young adult readers.”—Goodreads Review
