| Description: | Select Guide Rating When Captain Booth sets sails for India, his daughter, Sarah, is determined not to be left behind. Longing for adventure, Sarah disguises herself as a boy and stows away on board her father''s ship. But once in India, adventure turns to disaster when Sarah finds herself unable to get back to the ship. She must put her faith in Priya, the girl who rescues her. Through Priya''s kindness, Sarah learns to appreciate this new world beyond the horizon. This historical story begins as Sarah says goodbye to her father, who is setting sail for a long journey to India. Sarah desperately wants to go with her father, but he refuses to take her because of the danger involved. Left behind with a seemingly unkind Aunt, Sarah decides to cut off her hair and dress like a boy in the hope that she can sneak aboard the ship. Children will discuss the historical setting and how this impacts the story, as well as exploring the character of Sarah: the motivation for her actions, and whether or not she appeals to the reader.
