Drinking water is nearly gone, scurvy spreads through the crew, and mutiny looms. Then, through the morning mist, land appears-an unknown island unlike any marked on their charts. By authority of King Manuel I, the captain names it São Lourenço, though the world will one day know it as Madagascar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in the voice of a sixteenth-century ship captain's journal, \u003cem\u003eMr. Robert's Madagascar \u003c\/em\u003eis a richly illustrated historical adventure that brings young readers into one of history's great age-of-exploration moments.
