William’s ‘ship’ is a group of trees, and his crew is his sister Vicky. Two accidents bring them to realise that Christians need to trust a pilot, just as sea-captains do. An easy-to-read story for 6-9 year olds, with a Christian message.


From the Junior Gateway Books series – a series of simple, easy-to-read stories in large print with a Christian message. William’s ship is a group of young trees that grow in a clearing in the wood, and his crew is his young sister Vicky. When Uncle Roger entrusts Vicky with the present he is saving for William’s birthday, a sailing ship in a bottle, she intends to take great care of it. But things go wrong, and it takes two accidents for Vicky and William to learn that Christians need to trust a pilot, just as sea-captains do.
