After his father is killed fighting for the Union, thirteen-year-old Tom Carroll takes a job at a Brooklyn ironworks to support his family. He quickly learns that they are building an ironclad "unsinkable" ship to be called the Monitor to finally sink the Confederates' "unsinkable" ship, the Merrimac.

This is a brilliantly written description of a major sea battle through the eyes of a teenaged boy who both helped build the Monitor and fought on it.

Avi's work spans nearly every genre and has received nearly every major prize, including the Newbery Medal for Crispin: The Cross of Lead and Newbery Honors for Nothing But the Truth and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.

โ€œ[An] action-packed account of a battle that changed the course of naval warfareโ€ฆThis is gripping historical fiction from a keenly imagined perspective.โ€

โ€œ[An] exciting, fast-paced historical adventure.โ€

โ€œReaders may find themselves so absorbed in Tomโ€™s exciting narrative that they will seek out for themselves other good works on the Civil War.โ€
