"In graphic novel format, tells the life story of Revolutionary War
hero and spy Nathan Hale"--Provided by publisher.
Quebrado has been traded from pirate ship to ship in the
Caribbean Sea for as long as he can remember. The sailors he toils
under call him "el quebrado"--half islander, half outsider, a
broken one. Now the pirate captain Bernardino de Talavera uses
Quebrado as a translator to help navigate the worlds and words
between his mother's Taino Indian language and his father's
Spanish.
But when a hurricane sinks the ship and most of its crew, it is
Quebrado who escapes to safety. He learns how to live on land
again, among people who treat him well. And it is he who must
decide the fate of his former captors. Latino interest.
