The first book that I read that I really enjoyed as a youth was [b:The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle|310146|The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle|Avi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1200883701s/310146.jpg|997358] by [a:Avi|1240|Jack London|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1183236326p2/1240.jpg]. It was a girls adventure in being something other than what she was expected and surviving across the sea and into the wild lands of the new Americas. When I saw this cover with a girl and a ship I was excited! It is a youth book, but even in my 20's I enjoyed this book. A girl ripped from her normal European Society life and thrust into life on a ship and then in the new Americas, here it just happens to be Boston. Love it!
