AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The "Arabella", a replica ship, is his Grandpa's pride and joy. It was made by his Grandpa and he says it brings him luck. When a fierce storm snatches it from Grandpa's windowsill, Matthew takes Grandpa's real boat to rescue it. Matthew thinks the "Arabella" is Grandpa's most precious thing, but Grandpa tells him otherwise - nothing is more precious to Grandpa than Matthew.
