Quest

By Gary Crew About

In the spring of 1891, Sam Silverthorne is thirteen years old. Left behind in the care of his heartless Aunt Bertha as his father, Sir Arthur Silverthorne (Exotic Specimens Collector for the Natural History Museum and Ornithologist to Her Majesty Queen Victoria), sets out an expedition to find the infamous silver bird of paradise. But when Sir Arthur fails to return, Sam embarks on a journey to the Malay Archipelago to find him. On the way Sam finds his courage tested to the extreme by the people he meets, from wily oriental salesmen to blood-thirsty cannibals. Drawn deeper into a dangerous and unpredictable quest, Sam’s determination to find his father will see him risk his life to find the answer he seeks.
