My friend Pirate

Twelve-year-old Andre and his great-uncle, an old sea wolf nicknamed the Pirate, by force of circumstances begin to live together, getting used to and becoming attached to each other, and then on an old patched yacht they set off on a journey from Norway to Trinidad across the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean - for the sake of saving a man.

There are things we cannot influence, there are circumstances we cannot change, this book tells the reader, but in any circumstances we can move forward and not give up, be careful with each other and think about those we love, literally until our last breath.
