I Sailed With Columbus

Imagine a 14-year-old boy, Diego, living along Spain¹s Atlantic shore in the year 1492. One day, an unknown sea captain arrives with a commission from Queen Isabella for ships and crew to sail a daring westward route to the Indies. Nothing can stop Diego from enlisting. The captain¹s name is Christopher Columbus, and Diego becomes the youngest ship¹s boy aboard the Santa Maria. Diego and his friend Luis are right behind Columbus when he sets foot in the New World, and are sent to scout out the island of Guanahani. A native Indian boy guides them through the treacherous jungle. But Diego and Luis are drawn into the web of loyalties and treacheries that plague this voyage of discovery, and have to make some difficult choices and survive some hair-raising adventures.
