The Wanderer

One thirteen-year-old girl’s sailing journey across the Atlantic Ocean brings more adventure than just the battle of the open seas. This Newbery Honor favorite by acclaimed author Sharon Creech is repackaged with a beautiful new look!
Thirteen-year-old Sophie is on a sailboat bound for England, with an unlikely crew of her three surly uncles and two bothersome cousins, Cody and Brian. Sophie is all seriousness—anxious to get going, ready to face the ocean blue and see her Grandpa Bompie on the other side of the Atlantic. When the Wanderer finds itself in the middle of a raging Atlantic storm, the crew is forced to leave their family bickering aside and band together to get through the ocean’s torrent and safely to the shores of England, where the reward of the physical and emotional battles they waged at sea await them. But what Sophie learns about her own past impacts her more deeply than even the ocean that threatens to engulf the ship.

With beautiful and stunning new cover art, this freshly repackaged Newbery Honor Book will introduce even more fans to the remarkable world created by Sharon Creech.
