Whatever Happened to Henry Hudson? 200 pages : (Rewrites completed)
2009: Historical Fiction: History-Mystery for Teens:
Meet the famous Henry Hudson, explorer par excellence! He didn't die an ordinary death. His men held a mutiny and he and his son, along with 6 of his loyal men, were cast out into a lifeboat, never to be seen or heard from again.
2011 was the 400th anniversary of that fateful event, so a ghost has risen up to communicate with 2 teens, to unearth the truth about what happened. Alice and Jon are dragged into an unfathomable adventure to find out what really happened after the mutiny, as they go in search of the truth. This book celebrates both the 400th anniversary of Hudson's demise, as well as the newly opened Northwest Passage through the Arctic, (the search for which was the reason for Hudson's journey to Canada, in 1610).
