The arrival of the Spanish brings heartache to Culca and the people of her village, who are forced to dive for gold in a sunken Spanish galleon, but Culca's notions about a diving bell may provide a way out of the danger.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Culca longs to dive, but girls on her native take care of the men. The divers are essential to the survival of the village as the pearls and shells they gather are used for trading. All is not well, however. When Spanish ships full of gold sink in a storm, the divers are taken to recover the treasure, and Culca uses her nimble wits and unflagging bravery to save her brother's life. Female roles and Spanish Colonial exploration of land and people are the themes of this story. Culca comes through as a strong female voice.
Todd Strasser is the author of more than 100 books, including the popular Help! I?m Trapped series, and numerous young adult novels.
