Features: The wind howled, the waves roared. Although the wind and waves were not yet as familiar to me as they were to the seamen I worked with, they were enough to scare the wits out of this young sailor who had just begun to venture out to sea. I waited silently for each wave to swallow us whole, and every time I fell into a trough, I thought I would never surface again. In the depths of fear, I swore to the heavens that if God had mercy on me and allowed me to survive this time, if I could once again set foot on dry land, I would promise to go home, never to turn back, and never to set sail again for the rest of my life. This book tells one touching and heartwarming story after another through the daily life of an Italian elementary school student.
