One day, in the rush to escape a constable after a misunderstanding about some toffees, 12 year old Patch finds herself on board an ocean liner just as the gangway is being lifted and the the ship steams off from Liverpool to New York. The novel is rich in descriptions of life – both above and below deck – on board an early 20th century ‘floating palace’, but is anyone on board who they claim to be? A delightful mystery adventure novel.
