" I loved this book so much!!! Though it was kind of creepy. "
— Abby, 11/24/2009" The second book in the Jolly Stone trilogy. A definite recommend to those interested in seafaring in the south Pacific in the early 19th century. I like this of the three books the best. Lawrence is a decent storyteller and the story itself is quite adventurous, if not completely believable. "
