Syms Covington has landed the job of a lifetime – cabin boy and
fiddler on Charles Darwin’s Beagle – but when he is separated from
the crew during a storm, his life takes a truly extraordinary
turn.

Shipwrecked on a Galapagos island, he makes a discovery that could
change the world – and make his fortune. But should he share
his find, or will it lead to the extinction of a legendary species?

There’s one person who could help, but he’s busy writing a book
…

Based on a true story and Charles Darwin’s real journal!

Perfect for fans of Cornelia Funke’s Dragon Rider
or Cressida Cowell’s How to Train Your Dragon series.

Effortlessly blends exciting adventure with a rip-roaring
historical story and non-fiction elements.
