WELCOME TO YOUR DEADLY
SEAS ADVENTURE
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
ONE WRONG MOVE COULD SPELL DISASTER.
YOU and five crew members are going to sail around the world! It will be
the ultimate challenge of your bravery and endurance. You’ll face
dangers you never imagined. Not many people have accomplished this
daring feat. Will you become one of the few to battle the wild seas and
win?
At many points in this fantastic adventure, you’ll be given choices—
and the decisions you make will change the course of your story.
It’s all up to you.
There are thirty-three possible endings to your Deadly Seas
adventure. But there is only ONE PATH through the book that will take
you around the world on your first try.
Before you start, make sure to read the Expedition File. It has the
tips and information you’ll need to make good choices.
You and the crew will work together, but ultimately, some critical
decisions will come down to you. Just use your common sense and
excellent judgment—and the photographers and reporters will be waiting
for you on the dock to announce your victory!
THE CREW
JASON HARRINGTON
AGE: 16 HOME: LOS ANGELES,
CALIFORNIA
Jason is the most experienced sailor
on your yacht. In fact, he has never
lived on land. He has lived on a boat
his entire life. His parents joke that he
learned how to tie a bowline before he
could knot his own shoelaces. Jason
likes being top dog and in charge.
He’s handsome, smart, and very sure
of himself, which isn’t always a good
thing. Sometimes he doesn’t listen to
the opinions of others when it could
be important. Jason thinks he’s
always right, and if Jason thinks so, it
must be true.
CAPTAIN
BRANDON GREENE
AGE: 16 HOME: SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
Brandon loves to fish and to cook his catch. But his real talent is
navigating. He’s great at avoiding hazards and reaching destinations on
time. Brandon is a perfectionist when it comes to his navigational charts,
but he’s a disaster when it comes to
practically everything else. He drops
his stuff wherever; he’ll eat whatever,
whenever (and that includes moldy
bread and rotten fruit). But he’ll give
you the shirt off his back—that is, as
soon as he can find it.
CREW
CHELSEA VEGA
AGE: 15 HOME: CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS
Chelsea comes from a large family. She has three brothers and two
sisters, and they all grew up sailing on Cape Cod. Chelsea is a natural
athlete and a junior champion gymnast. She can shimmy up a yacht’s
mast in record time to fix sails. For fun, she climbs up blindfolded. She
loves a challenge—maybe a little bit too much. Where danger looms,
Chelsea follows.
CREW
DAVID LEE
AGE: 15 HOME: CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA
David’s parents are both professors of environmental studies at Duke
University. His family has a house on the Outer Banks, where they go
sailing whenever weather permits. David has a natural aptitude for fixing
things. When he was six years old, he took apart the washing machine
and used the pieces to make a miniature Ferris wheel. David will be the
mechanic on this trip. He is tidy and organized, but is somewhat of a
safety freak. David is also a fanatic about helping endangered species.
CREW
GEORGINA FORTUNATO
AGE: 15 HOME: MIAMI, FLORIDA
Georgina is outgoing and fun-loving. She has two passions—sailing and
meteorology. She can predict foul weather with great precision and will
be the yacht’s weather expert. Georgina is a certified junior lifeguard. But
at times her behavior is a little strange. Why won’t she let Chelsea clip
her nails? Why does she throw Jason’s duffel overboard? Why won’t she
let Brandon eat a banana? A sneak peek into her diary will reveal all.
