    Iain Lawrence, Ron Keith, Recorded Books

    Audiobook (Recorded Books, Jan. 30, 2007)
    It's been two years since John Spencer and his father were shipwrecked and nearly murdered by unscrupulous scavengers. Now the Spencers have a new ship, the Dragon, and 16-year-old John is elated to be making the new schooner's maiden voyage to London. Not long out to sea, John realizes that the captain and crew of the Dragon are not who they pretended to be. Instead they are smugglers, steering their own course, and prepared to kill anyone who tries to stop them. Leaving a trail of bloodshed and violence, these ruthless pirates have no intention of leaving any witnesses to their crimes. If John is to survive, it will be by his own steady wit and a stroke of good luck.

A SNAPSHOT INTO ROSIE’S LIFEWhen I was about 10 -14 years old, I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries filled with magic. I used to haunt our local library, borrowing anything with a vaguely magical theme. It had to be well-written with a gripping story, action-filled and a page-turner. (My all-time favourite author? C.S.Lewis.) So the seeds were sown. One day I’d write books for 10 – 14 year olds too!The next question: So is this book for boys or girls? The answer: For both! Boys and girls between the ages of 10-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it; although lots of adults are enjoying it too. If you love a fast-paced fantasy, then THE TIME SMUGGLERS, #2 THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series could be right for you. I'd be delighted to know what you think of it, so do leave a review on here if you liked it.
