But Mrs. McMasters and ships, not to mention oceans, did not get along. So, right from the beginning, if she wasn’t bolting for the bathroom to throw up, she was lying in bed, miserable. She’d simply told the kids to be good and go play. To Jack, Rabbit, and Queenie, “Go play” meant roaming the Upshur, a place unlike anywhere they’d ever been. Its only color seemed to be gray, and the air was filled with the sounds of clanking metal, loud bells, and blasting horns sounding for no apparent reason.

Looking correct was not Rabbit’s priority. Her blond hair never stayed combed, which was why her mom put it in a ponytail most of the time. A ponytail that sprouted golden tufts within half an hour. Rabbit was the kind of kid who would walk out the front door in spanking clean clothes, and within ten minutes they’d be a wreck—wrinkled, dirty, and, all too often, growing holes. As for

    this time it was a little girl, Sophie, standing barefooted and trying uselessly to hide the whole long row of toes that everyone could see on each foot. We all stood looking at her, and waiting. Presently she started to run from one person to another, imploring them to help her, but none of them moved, and none of their faces had any expression.
