The Pup And The Pianist Sara Flower Kjeldsen

Thirteen-year-old Max is a powder monkey aboard the HMS Wind, a British warship. His captain is in pursuit of a phantom French frigate, and he will stop at nothing to find it. When they reach the other side of the world, the French are discovered and battle breaks out at sea. Merciless cannons tear both warships to shreds right before a storm hits. Left with the choice to sink along with his burning ship, or make the impossible swim to The Galapagos islands, Max makes it to foreign lands barely alive. He soon discovers an enemy lying on the shore, but the French boy's face is burned so badly that he can no longer see. Far away from the war, Max and his new companion fight to survive in their new reality at the end of the world.
