Compass Murphy

Joshua's father has gone missing, last seen on a ship set for Greenland. Joshua therefore decides to stow away on another whaler in search of the one parent he has left. And so begins an adventure more terrifying and exhilarating than any he has ever known, and so too a journey of discovery, full of hope. Compass Murphy is one of three stand-alone novels which together form The Running Tide: sea-faring stories of adventure, friendship and the unfathomable mysteries of the sea. Look out for the other two: Hunting Gumnor and The Ship Thief.
