@wrappedupinpages: Thank you @BookSparks for gifting me a copy of The Stargazer of Nantucket by Julie Gerstenblatt as part of The Odyssey Summer Reading program! It's 1851, eighteen-year-old Winifred Starbuck wants nothing more than to join her parents, renowned trade captains Nell and Peter, on their final merchant voyage going from Nantucket to San Francisco at the height of the Gold Rush, then across the Pacific to China. When they forbid her from coming, headstrong Winnie stows away instead. As the ship battles turbulent waters and treachery on the high seas, Winnie edges closer to a long-buried family secret, one that finally explains her parents' desperate fear. Author: Julie Gerstenblatt Publisher: Park Row Books Release Date: June 9, 2026 ❓QOTD: If you had to stow away on a ship bound for one destination, no matter the danger, where would you set your sights? 🌊 #thestargazerofnantucket #juliegerstenblatt #booksparks #SRC2026 🔑historical fiction · maritime adventure · stowaway · clipper ship · nantucket · high seas · family secrets · gold rush · china trade · strong female lead · adventure novel · summer reading · booksparks gifted · julie gerstenblatt · 1851 · coming of age at sea
