I ❤️ all of the siblings and I didn't really like all the death 💀 😞

An encouraging story of overcoming

I had not read any reviews about this book before listening. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. Mr. Bowditch had trial after trial. He worked his whole life by the ash breeze and was never becalmed. He lived honorably and was kind to others.

Great book!

My kids and I really enjoyed the book. The story was full of adventure and portrayed the history period very well. It gave a true look at how hard trade was and also how hard life was.

One of the BEST kids books

My boys loved Mr. Bowditch. I had no idea who he was before this. I'm so glad we came across this one.

Very encouraging story!

My oldest and I listened to the book for her schoolwork. She is learning Latin, so it was neat to hear how Nat was teaching himself Latin. I loved how the story was set during the birth of our country.

Such a wonderful true story

Wonderful book. Well read except for some pronunciation of names. The story of a man who used his gifts to eventually change navigation for the better despite difficulties. Well worth a listen.

All of it

I think it just needs to be shorter so add more detail to the sentences and make I shorter.this is just for me it is a good book and you should read it.😁😋

Wonderful!!!

Absolutely loved the story and the narration! If only we all used our time as well as Nat Bowditch!

Amazing storytelling

This was so captivating that I didn't want to stop listening. I really felt the characters come alive.
