Emilia, a twelve-year-old girl, hides as a stowaway on a nineteenth-century scientific expedition bound for the Pacific. Inspired by the last real expedition to the Pacific, the novel combines unknown species and landscapes, navigation and dangers with the protagonist's evolution, and addresses the debate between Darwinism and creationism, feminism, and the passion for knowledge.

Aimed at readers from 13 years old interested in youth adventure and historical fiction.
