Despised by his Spanish relatives and ignored by his distant grandfather, twelve-year-old orphan Felix Brooke is lonely and unhappy. So when he's given a parcel with a blood-stained letter from his dead father, it inspires him to track down his long-lost English family. Felix packs his bag, jumps on his trusty mule and heads for the coast and a new life. But his journey across the mountains and over the sea to be plain sailing - as Felix soon discovers. . . .
Industry Reviews
In which orphaned young Felix Brooke runs away from his aristocratic grandfather's Spanish estate; is in turn thrown into jail, nearly sacrificed by a pagan community, and kidnapped at sea; encounters many true friends and kindly helpers; and arrives at last at the home of his long-lost, equally aristocratic English grandfather - only to conclude that he belongs back in Spain. Aiken plays it straight in this picaresque period piece, which imitates the genre well but gives it neither new life nor a new perspective. Readers addicted to long, undemanding adventures might sail through it, and right on to the next. (Kirkus Reviews)
