Amazon.com description: Product Description: As Tom Tin nears Australia, where heâs to serve a lengthy sentence for a murder he didnât commit, he and his fellow convict, Midgely, plot their escape. No matter that the ship carrying them and the other juvenile criminals is captained by Tomâs father. Tom knows his father canât help him clear his name and regain his freedomânot as long as Mr. Goodfellow, a man who wants the ruin of the Tin family, wields power back in London. So Tom and Midgely decide to go overboard! So do other boys who seize their chance at libertyâboys who arenât so innocent, and who have it in for Tom.
To make things worse, the islands in the Pacific look inviting, but Tom remembers his fatherâs warnings: headhunters and cannibals lurk there! The boys go anyway. And as conflict among them mounts, as they encounter the very dangers Captain Tin spoke of, Tom must fight to keep himself and Midgely alive.
