The book is about a young man, Dick Sands (as the title suggests) who unexpectedly becomes a ship captain at 15 and about his adventures. It was definitely an intense read -- very wordy but the overall storyline was pretty good. Some great characters, however I feel like some characters could have had more development. Likewise with the story -- the author definitely elaborated parts which I didn't enjoy yet the happy parts which I wanted more of, there was a lot of skimming going on. I would recommend this book for people who are lovers of Jules Verne or older fiction - but definitely go in thinking about the time the book was written in otherwise you may be highly disappointed.
