May, 1588. You are a sailor in the service of King Philip II of Spain, and your country is about to send `la felicissima armada' (Spanish for `the most fortunate fleet') to invade England, your enemy. The Spanish Armada is a fleet of ships and its mission is to land soldiers on English soil. The invasion will be difficult and as you plot your course, you will soon know if you would - or wouldn't - want to be in the Spanish Armada.The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach placing readers at the centre of the narrative history encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of what life would have been like in the Spanish Armada. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts for young readers.Sample fact: `Of the 130 ships that left Lisbon in May, only about 65 limp back to Corunna. About 1,000 Spanish sailors died in the ill-fated mission to conquer England.'
