A wonderful bookstore owner in Alexandria told me kids still like it :) and kids who like math LOVE it. Short chapters so easy to read aloud. It is a biography and there are some tragic events--very gently handled, but characters are lost at sea etc. Good story about overcoming disadvantages, using your strengths and sensitive exploration of what it feels like to find math easy and some people difficult to understand. Highly recommended. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Nathaniel Bowditch grew up in a sailor's world--Salem in the early days, when tall-masted ships from foreign ports crowded the wharves. But Nat didn't promise to have the makings of a sailor; he was too physically small.
Nat may have been slight of build, but no one guessed that he had the persistence and determination to master sea navigation in the days when men sailed only by "log, lead, and lookout." Nat's long hours of study and observation, collected in his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the "Sailors' Bible"), stunned the sailing community and made him a New England hero.
