I really loved this book!Ī feminist or a teacher reading to her/his students would love this book. Go on a sailing trip again for instance! I was so moved, so scared, so anxious. It?s nerve racking, but, at the same time, you?re thinking the author must have somehow conjured glue into it! You are stuck reading twenty-four ? seven!Īs I read this book, I thought of the things I could do to be more like Charlotte. She is very brave and I would like to be like her.

He was smart and good, but I also like Charlotte. The story starts in the early summer of 1832, as thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle prepares to take a voyage from Liverpool, England, to her familys home in Providence, Rhode Island. Not every girl changes Misses to Mister, long hair to short hair, fluffy skirts to rough breeches and her cream white hands all for the trust of a crew.Ĭharlotte Doyle does all this to take revenge on a mutinous pirate of a captain.Ĭharlotte Doyle goes on a ship to America and gets this amazing experience full of rats and roaches and danger everywhere. Not every day do you see a girl throw a knife with the skill of a well-trained pirate. Not every nineteenth century girl goes on a ship alone and turns into a rowdy sailor.
