1418. As this century of discovery opens, Prince Henry of Portugal is putting his wealth into a search for a fabulous lost island somewhere west of Africa. On this daring voyage a fisherman's son will witness both miracles and despair on a perilous, dark sea. Young Alessandro Cavalli of Venice will also meet his fate on the watery deep after a brother's betrayal leaves him chained to an oar as a galley slave. And teenaged apprentice Tom of Bristol is running for his life when he stows away on an ocean-bound ship...as the magnificent adventure of exploration begins with The Dreamers.

Thanks. Always looking for something to read either for me or someone in my family. We are a family of readers. This looks like something we all might enjoy especially the boys.
