Bookroo's summary

Quinn's peaceful farm life shatters when he's chosen to map the world for the king. Thrust into a high-seas adventure, he must outwit fierce competitors and a lurking sea monster. With only his wits and a stowaway ally, Quinn navigates treacherous waters, where loyalty and courage are his only compass. Can he survive the journey and claim the king's prize, or will the unknown swallow him whole? Dive into a world of fantasy, friendship, and perilous quests in this thrilling saga.

From the publisher

Quinn’s older brothers may long for adventure, but he is content with his quiet life on the farm. Destiny, however, has other plans. Perfect for readers who love stories filled with adventure and suspense, this series is one-part fantasy, one-part quest, one-part high-seas action. Filled with strong, feisty characters who learn resilience, perseverance and the importance of friendship, each book transports readers to faraway lands. Themes include loyalty, friendship, class, gender, exploration, coming of age, and self-confidence.
