Creech, Sharon - The Wanderer (Paperback)

In The Wanderer, thirteen-year-old Sophie joins a bold sea voyage with her three uncles and two cousins aboard the Wanderer, sailing across the Atlantic toward England. As Sophie and her cousin Cody keep journals, the story reveals obstacles at sea, family tensions, loss, and buried pasts that slowly surface. Sophie, the only girl in the crew, wrestles with memories of her biological parents and the sense of not fully belonging, while Cody strives to prove his worth.

Sharon Creech’s narrative blends lyrical voice, alternating perspectives, and the rhythms of the ocean to craft a deeply emotional and immersive journey. It’s a book about identity, healing, and the way people carry what’s lost into what’s next.
