Summary:
"A young sailor is caught up in the naval
siege
of
Quebec
leading up to the battle on the Plains of Abraham. Fourteen-year-old William Jenkins is working at a printing house when he comes to the attention of navigator and naval officer James Cook. William signs up to serve with Cook on the warship HMS Pembroke, part of Britain''s fleet setting out to take the French stronghold of
Quebec
. William soon learns that the world of a British sailor is a harsh one, especially when the ship lays
siege
to the
fortress
and is attacked by French fire ships - burning wrecks sent downstream to set the British warships on fire. On one raid, William is captured by the French allies, the Abenaki, and taken into
Quebec
itself, which is under constant bombardment from British cannons. With the
siege
strangling
Quebec
's lifelines, William finds a way outside the
fortress
walls just in time to join the British soldiers landing their boats and preparing to face the French on the Plains of Abraham. A dramatic story of the Seven Years' War, culminating in the
siege
and battle that claimed Canada for Britain."--From publisher.
