Craig Moodie"s finely crafted adventure novel tells the story of twelve-year-old Finn, who stows away to search for his lost father and brothers. It"s a journey that brings storms, shipwreck, tense encounters with the inhabitants of an unexplored continent -- and a coming of age for Finn, who will in the end, face his father as a young man and a Viking. Dramatic and beautifully told, The Sea Singer is a first-rate literary sea story.
