Description
It started with a question...
"Which direction leads to freedom?"
When two adventure-loving brothers meet a magical penguin who dreams of the wide, open sea, an ordinary Wednesday turns into an unforgettable journey down the River Liffey and out into Dublin Bay.
From wobbly rowboats and zigzagging sailboats to spinning mishaps, splashes, and surprising new friends, Michael, Ryan and Cara soon discover that getting to freedom isn't always smooth sailing.
But every mistake teaches them something new.
And every laugh makes them braver.
Join them as they begin to understand that freedom is not only a place you reach - but a choice you make.
"Sometimes you win... and sometimes you learn."
A beautifully illustrated adventure set along Dublin's River Liffey and out into Dublin Bay.
The Great Boat Escape is a heartwarming Irish children's adventure about courage, friendship, family, and discovering that growing braver together may be the greatest freedom of all.
Perfect for young readers aged 5-9 who love illustrated adventure stories, animal characters, and magical journeys.
Book One in the Michael, Ryan & Cara Adventures series.
