Book Description

A storm. A plot. And a rivalry that spans generations. Fourteen-year-old Grey Shima is unimpressed with growing up. She can’t seem to get along with any of her old friends, much less her mother. Instead, she throws herself into the things she loves: sailing, whittling, and losing herself in stories of fantasy and adventure. Still, she yearns to leave her own mark on New Earth. When she qualifies to participate in the treacherous Great Sea Race, much to her pirate mother's dismay, Grey is ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. On the other hand, Ashton Abernathy has always dismissed fantastical notions and shunned the responsibilities that come with hard work. Leading a privileged life, he meanders aimlessly, desperately searching for purpose. In the aftermath of a rogue storm, the two sworn enemies are thrown together in the Great Sea. Forced to put aside their bitter rivalry, they must rely on each other to survive. But their struggles are far from over as they uncover a sinister plot that threatens the lives of thousands. In a race against time, Grey and Ashton must confront their deepest fears and apply their unique talents to save themselves and protect their loved ones. In the thrilling young adult novel, Unfurling the Sails: A Grey Shima Adventure, a sudden squall sets the stage for an exciting tale of rivalry, adventure, and the power of unlikely alliances. Prepare to be swept away by the gripping story of two unexpected allies as they navigate the perils of the Great Sea and discover the true meaning of bravery, resilience, and the transformative power of friendship.
