This is a true story of how in the 1860s, Captain Fitzroy of HMS Beagle decides to take a boy back to England. Based on the true story of Jemmy Button — a boy taken from his homeland in Tierra del Fuego to Victorian England — this book traces his extraordinary journey. From strange customs and unfamiliar cities to the pull of home, Jemmy’s experience is one of dislocation, discovery, and return. A thoughtful reimagining of a real life caught between two worlds.
