When Portuguese sailor Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain in 1519, he believed he could get to the Spice Islands by sailing west through or around the New World. He was right, but what he didn't know was that the treacherous voyage would take him three years and cost him his life. Black-and-white line drawings illustrate Magellan's life and voyage, with sidebars and a time line that enhance readers' understanding of the period.

Who Was Ferdinand Magellan?
Sep 24 2004
By R. Fishman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As an adult I thought the story was very intriging and exciting. This was
a Magellan that was never protrayed in history books of yore. The drawings were absolutely beautiful, full of so much detail and interesting features. This book makes a marvelous present for children
learning about history. After reading this book, I can't believe that
Hollywood has never made a movie about Magellan!

A Review by David
Mar 4 2009
By Heritage Academy
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is about Ferdinand Magellan. He was known as the first man who sailed around the world. My favorite part of the book was that he was a soldier. While he was a soldier, he fought battles. I was surprised at how many soldiers he had to fight. I would recommend this book to other boys.
