Victory

Susan Cooper dispenses a family saga in which two children cross an ocean 200 hundred years apart: Sam in 1803 and Molly in 2005. Separate, yet together, Sam and Molly struggle through fear and hope to a final ordeal that terrifyingly tests their valour. Alternating chapters follow the mystifying connection between a homesick English girl living in present-day America and an eleven-year-old boy serving in the British Royal Navy, aboard the H.M.S. Victory, commanded by Admiral Horatio Nelson.
