Kirsten Bramble is too famous to have friends. Thatâs what she tells herself, anywayâbut with the end of her hit reality TV show barreling toward her, Kirstenâs not sure sheâs ready to say goodbye to her lonely life of fame.
Luckilyâor unluckilyâKirsten canât help being plunged headfirst into a new adventure when sheâs dragged on a class trip to visit the SS Great Britain. Because somehow, the ancient ship can speak to herâand she wants Kirsten to be her new captain.
The ship pulls out of the harbor with no sails and no working engine, and try as Kirsten might, she canât convince the ship to turn back until they find a way to help her finish her final quest.
Kirsten doesnât feel like a captainâbut along the way, she may just realize that the ending of an adventure, while scary, can be just as special as the beginning.

Nicola Skinner was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she spent an idyllic early childhood mostly watching some very dramatic telenovelas, reading comics, and going to the beach. When she was nine, she swapped all of that to attend boarding school in Great Britain, which didnât have beaches, unfortunately, but where she learned a love for books and writing. A former journalist and copywriter, she is now a full-time author of childrenâs books.
