A spellbinding tale of intrigue and murder on the high seas. As the lone "young lady" (13 year old) on a transatlantic voyage in 1832, Charlotte learns that the captain is murderous and the crew rebellious.
When I was about 12 or 13 years old I read this book. Before this book, I had read all other required material but was not a passionate or avid reader. After this book I have a passion for reading and literature that is very strong. I love the adventure and the imaginative dreams that follow such an adventure. There are so many books that my mind is open up to now, and I really cannot imagine the idea of not loving to read.
If you have a pre-teen girl, that does not like to read currently... I strongly suggest you get her this book. It opened millions of doors for me, and I just really hope it would for her as well.
This book is about a heroine of outstanding strength and moral character. She teaches and shows that you are capable if you try.
