By the celebrated author of
The Pear Affair and
The Secret Starling – Patch finds adventure on every deck of the 'floating palace' she accidentally stows away on. Liverpool, 1910
When Patch runs up the gangway of steamship, RMS
Glorious, she isn't planning to hang around. But if she leaves her hiding place the constable might catch her: sitting tight is worth the risk. Too late, she realises the ship is setting sail! Patch has become an accidental stowaway.
Luckily, Patch's unconventional past has made her pretty fearless when it comes to fending for herself, and besides there are friends in high and low places to be made onboard.
But hiding away becomes less and less easy: her new friends urgently need her help and there's a mystery that needs solving, all before they reach New York . . .
