About this book: At just ten years old, James Kincaid is an assitant to the naturalist Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle. The life of a ship's boy-turned-explorer is never dull, as James discovers when he helps Darwin collect specimens on the South American continent. From treacherous seas to devastating earthquakes and erupting volcanoes, the Beagle sails on, searching bays, inlets and islands...
James's diary tells of the exciting journey that led to one of the world's most ground-breaking scientific works; it's a young boy's insight into the thoughts and ideas of one of the world's greatest scientists, as well as a gripping tale of adventure overseas.
An illustrated reference chapter provides further information about Darwin's discoveries, theories and the scientific world of the 19th century.
