    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;Thirteen-year-old Sam Witchall has always dreamed of being a sailor, but he never realized how dangerous and gruesome life at sea could be until he is pressed into service aboard HMS<em> Miranda</em>. Beginning his naval career as a “powder monkey”—assisting the gun crews on the warship—Sam learns the ropes of sailing and how to cope with enemies both foreign and onboard the <em>Miranda </em>herself.<br/> <br/>With enough battles, storms, and shipwrecks to thrill young fans of the Master and Commander series, this rousing historical adventure introduces a new generation to an exciting era, when a lowly powder monkey could grow up to be a hero.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In March 1801, a mere six weeks after Sam Witchall&#8217;s ship wrecked off the Cornish coast, his hopes for getting home are dashed when he is framed for theft and sent to Australia for punishment. The 15,000 mile, eight month journey is a hard and horrible one, and when he and his good friend Richard finally arrive, they find themselves fighting for their lives in the Australian bush. This epic sequel to <em>Powder Monkey</em> is every bit as exciting and action packed as its predecessor.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
