# Dick Sands, the Boy Captain

By Jules Verne.

"Dick Sands, the Boy Captain" by Jules Verne is a novel published in 1878. When a whaling expedition goes tragically wrong, fifteen-year-old Dick Sand must command a ship with no experienced crew. Through the treachery of the ship's cook, the vessel is secretly diverted to Africa instead of South America, where Dick and his passengers—including a woman, her young son, and several African survivors—find themselves trapped in the brutal world of the slave trade. A tale of courage, deception, and survival unfolds. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
