1832年夏，當(dāng)來(lái)自上層社會(huì)的十三歲少女陶雪洛獨(dú)自登上駛往美國(guó)的海鷹號(hào)時(shí)，還不知道等待她的將是那驚心動(dòng)魄的橫跨大西洋之旅。航行途中，水手們一直在暗中謀劃叛變。起初，陶雪洛站在尊貴優(yōu)雅的謝克利船長(zhǎng)一邊，但漸漸地，在她了解到他殘忍的本性后，便毅然加入到水手們的行列。很快，她被卷入了一場(chǎng)離奇的謀殺案，受到審判，并且被宣判死刑，但她憑著自己的勇敢與睿智，逃過劫難。最后，當(dāng)海鷹號(hào)抵達(dá)目的地時(shí)，她已成為統(tǒng)率全體船員的一船之長(zhǎng)。然而，當(dāng)她歷盡千辛萬(wàn)苦終于回到父母身邊時(shí)，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己已與原來(lái)熟悉的世界格格不入了。她將何去何從？ 本書榮獲1991年紐伯瑞兒童文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)銀獎(jiǎng)。
