Obstinate and spoiled at first, Harvey in due course learns diligence and responsibility and earns the camaraderie of the seamen, who treat him as one of their own. A true test of character, Harvey's months aboard the We're Here provide a delightful glimpse of life at sea and well-told morals of discipline, empathy, and self-reliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudyard Kipling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 4.98w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142437711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Adult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e733 \/ Captains Courageous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRudyard Kipling\u003c\/b\u003e (1865-1936) was born in Bombay. During his time at the United Services College, he began to write poetry, privately publishing \u003ci\u003eSchoolboy Lyrics\u003c\/i\u003e in 1881. The following year he started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches, and poems --including \"Mandalay,\" \"Gunga Din,\" and \"Danny Deever\"--which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. While living in Vermont with his wife, an American, Kipling wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Jungle Books\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJust So Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKim\u003c\/i\u003e--which became widely regarded as his greatest long work, putting him high among the chronicles of British expansion. Kipling returned to England in 1902, but he continued to travel widely and write, though he never enjoyed the literary esteem of his early years. In 1907, he became the first British writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Seelye\u003c\/b\u003e (introducer) is a graduate research professor of American literature at the University of Florida.
