The Night Ship by Jess Kidd
Two stories, centuries apart, are bound together by a mysterious wooden figurehead in this mesmerizing novel from Jess Kidd. In 1659, a young girl named Mayken boards the Batavia, a ship laden with treasures and secrets, bound for the Dutch East Indies. When disaster strikes, Mayken's journey becomes a desperate fight for survival. Centuries later, a boy named Gil arrives in the same windswept town in search of a new life. He stumbles upon a clue to the Batavia's fate and is drawn into a web of mystery and danger. Kidd weaves together these parallel narratives with her signature blend of historical detail, vivid characters, and haunting atmosphere, creating a story that is both thrilling and deeply moving.
