Summary

At the edge of a cliff lies the wreck of a small sailboat. Waves carried it up in a storm, says an old sailor. There is another story -- the story of a boy and his desire to be the greatest sailor, the story of a storm that carried the boy and his boat to a place where boats glide like gulls high above the water.

The Wreck of the Zephyr Summary

The Wreck of the Zephyr by Chris Van Allsburg

At the edge of a cliff lies the wreck of a small sailboat. How did it get there? Waves carried it up in a storm, says an old sailor. But is it possible that waves could ever go that high? There is another story - the story of a boy and his desire to be the greatest sailor, the story of a storm that carried the boy and his boat to a place where boats glide like gulls high above the water.

The Wreck of the Zephyr Reviews

The full-colour pastel drawings are the work of a master: stunning, luminescent, and conveying a sense of the mystical and magical. * Publishers Weekly *
This delightful picture book is a real gem. Its haunting pastel illustrations glow, and its ambiguous and finely written story encourages readers to wonder -- Marilyn Brocklehurst * Booksellers' Choice, The Bookseller *
Beautifully descriptive prose . . . The sophisticated storyline makes this a tale for thoughtful and reflective older readers * Carousel *
