I thought it would be a daunting project, but with six grandchildren and eleven stepgrandchildren, I've been telling stories to children for a long time. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Mary Higgins Clark \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Thomas loved his summer visits to his grandmother's on Cape Cod. He spent hours wondering about the sailing ships of the past and imagining their stories. He dreamed of being on a sailing ship himself. One afternoon after a night of terrible thunderstorms, Thomas finds, deep in the sand, a weathered, old-fashioned belt buckle. When he picks it up, a boy his own age, Silas Rich, who was a cabin boy on a ship called the Monomoy that sailed almost 250 years ago, appears. Suddenly the world of sailing ships is very near as Silas tells his tale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beloved and bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark tells a story of mystery and adventure that will transport readers to a time and place beyond their imaginings in her first book for children. Wendell Minor's inspired paintings make a time long ago very real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\/Paula Wiseman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416935148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.24h x 10.26w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2007 pg. 89\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2007 pg. 273\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2007 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 294 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e115194 \/ Ghost Ship: A Cape Cod Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Higgins Clark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649923051676,"sku":"9781416935148","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1a3d3d56-74ec-4c13-8dc5-30572355013b.jpg?v=1603874049","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ghost-ship-a-cape-cod-story-9781416935148","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
