Description: 

The year is 1544 and twelve-year-old Abigail Penn is anxious to escape her bad-tempered father and the prospect of stoking bread-ovens for the rest of her life. Keen to join her twin brother and best friend, Tom, she finds herself on board King Henry VIII's favorite warship, the Mary Rose. Getting used to life at sea is going to be hard enough, but what she doesn't expect is to become the only witness to a murder.
