All aboard the steamship RMS Glorious for a wonderful adventure as the great ship glides across the Atlantic from Liverpool to New York City.
Patch is escaping from a furious constable and all kinds of other disasters in her precarious life when she runs straight up the gang plank of the big ship. Patch had no intention of stowing away but, before she knows it, the huge engines are throbbing and she has no choice but to hide. Luckily, Patch soon finds there a great cast of characters who are also on board without a ticket.
Everyone needs to act several parts to keep their identities hidden from the authorities. Exciting, funny and full of warmth this is a great adventure story cleverly shaped by the special features of being on a big sea crossing.
When Patch runs up the gangway of steamship, RMS Glorious, she isn't planning to hang around. But if she leaves her hiding place the constable might catch her: sitting tight is worth the risk. Too late, she realises the ship is setting sail! Patch has become an accidental stowaway.
Luckily, Patch's unconventional past has made her pretty fearless when it comes to fending for herself, and besides there are friends in high and low places to be made onboard. But hiding away becomes less and less easy: her new friends urgently need her help and there's a mystery that needs solving, all before they reach New York . . .
With gorgeous chapter head illustrations by Kim Geyer.
