There must be one hundred and two sides to every story. Especially when it comes to the real saga of the wreck of the "Charles Eaton", and her castaway boys, and the head hunters who killed their family and shipmates - but strangely enough kept the boys alive for a while . . .
This is the story of Jack Ireland, cabin boy of the "Charles Eaton", fourteen years old when the tragedy happened, and William Doyle, whose father, mother and brother lost their heads . . . or so the story goes.
A shipwreck story. A castaway story. And a cannibal story. Retold by fifteen-year-old Walter Lewellyn, a ship's clerk on the "Isabella" who was there when the boys were rescued.
