From the Publisher:
The year is 1800. The British are at war with France and Spain, and bloody battles are being fought at sea. Thirteen-year-old Sam Witchall has been forced to join the crew of a naval warship, where he is ordered into the lowliest job on the ship: powder monkey. He must carry the gunpowder from the barrels in the powder magazine to the men waiting by the cannons on the gun deck. Gruesome tales soon become reality for young Sam, but he knows that anyone who attempts escape faces execution. Will Sam be forced to live out his days in seritude - or will he even survive long enough to find out?
