Storm the fortress : the siege of Quebec
by
This historical novel is about a young sailor, William Jenkins, and his life aboard the British warship HMS Pembroke during the Seven Years’ War. At fourteen, William leaves his job at the printing house to serve on the Pembroke. He soon discovers that life at sea is harsh, especially when the Pembroke lays siege to the fortress (Quebec) and is attacked by French fire ships. During this time, William is captured by allies of the French, the Abenaki, and narrowly escapes to rejoin the British soldiers in battle on the Plains of Abraham. History comes alive in this novel’s mix of fact and fiction. A Historical Notes reference section on the Seven Years’ War is included.
