Transatlantic Voyage: J.C. Van Winkler's Adventure Series Vol. 9

By Jan Frazier

J.C. van Winkler and Smitty find adventure during the 1846 Potato Blight of Ireland. With people trying to escape starvation by going to America, the twosome must save four stowaways on the ship Perseverance, which is bound for New York City. Helping the stowaways, though, is not the only adventure on this journey. Murder on board the ship keeps J.C. and Smitty on their toes, looking for the guilty party and hoping that there are no more victims. As the Perseverance lands in New Yorks harbor, Smitty must create a plan to get the illegal stowaways off the ship. And then they find that even the New World isnt safe with its gang-laden Five Points of New York City, where the immigrants must spend their first night. In search of a new and safer location, the immigrants travel up the Hudson River and through the majestic purple hills and valleys of New England towards the city of Chicago, where their future awaits them.
