Swiftwater

Fourteen-year-old Jack Swiftwater never meant to become a pirate.Snatched from his home and brutalised under Captain Crow aboard his pirate ship, he finds his life turned upside down by Philippa, a young girl with a secret.After a daring escape following a storm, they are cast away on a remote South Seas Island.Forced to rely on each other, they must confront not only the reality of survival in their new home but also the vengeful captain who will stop at nothing to hunt them down.Here you will find adventure, courage, tension and fear, heartbreak and hope, warmth and joy, set against the backdrop of blue lagoons and lush, tropical forests.Swiftwater - a sweeping historical adventure - highlights the redemptive power of kindness, the distinction between mere survival and genuine living, and the awakening of first love.
