Author Description

1498. Sebastian Cabot, age fifteen, can only wait and wonder. His famous father has abandoned him at home in Bristol, England, but has taken his brothers, Ludovico and Sancio, on his second voyage in search of the Asian mainland. On his first journey across the Western Ocean in 1497, John Cabot had discovered the New Found Land. Five years earlier, Columbus claimed to have found Asia by a southern route. Skeptical, Cabot set out to the north again to prove his old friend a fraud. But silence followed. Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.
