Mutiny On The Bounty

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

A fresh and exciting new telling of a classic nautical adventure by the bestselling author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Little does he realise that it is anything but - and by accepting the devil's bargain he will put his life in perilous danger.

From the moment the ship leaves port, Turnstile's life is turned upside down, for not only must he put his own demons to rest, but he must also confront the many adversaries he will encounter on the Bounty's extraordinary last voyage. Walking a dangerous line between an unhappy crew and a captain he comes to admire, he finds himself in a no-man's land where the distinction between friend and foe is increasingly difficult to determine...
