More about the book

The story follows a forgotten African boy from Elmina in the Gold Coast, who embarks on a journey in 1829 aboard a British ship with dreams of reaching Holland. However, his aspirations are thwarted when the ship wrecks on the Isles of Scilly in January 1830. This historical narrative explores themes of adventure, survival, and the impact of colonialism, shedding light on a lesser-known chapter of history through the boy's harrowing experiences.
