"It's 1835. Cabin boy Simon Covington is on the voyage of a lifetime to the Galapagos Islands with the world-famous scientist, Charles Darwin. But when Simon falls overboard during a huge storm, he washes up on an unexplored island. Stranded there, he makes a discovery that could change the world. Now it's not just his own survival at stake--the future of an undiscovered species is in his hands. But perhaps there's one person who could help... Based on the real events of Charles Darwin's legendary voyage, this is a novel that melds science with wonder"--From the publisher's web site.
