In 1832 Charlotte
Doyle, 13 years old girl from the upper class, is making a voyage
from England to Providence, Rhode Island, to be join her family. She
is a guest on the "Seahawk" vessel, manages to make a few friends of the crew and
get their respect, but in the end no one can help her but herself. She is put
in a terrifying condition from the moment of boarding the ship, and the whole situation
is only getting worse with time, but she is learning a lot about classes, authority
and justice, and most importantly, how to survive. Those experiences
change Charlotte from soft and naive to tough and mature. In the end, a
life on land with her family makes her agitated so she decides to return to ….
Another delightfully written historical fiction, a great adventure on the Pacific Ocean, a picture of 19th century places and classes with scrupulous details about life on board and how it worked – including sketches of the "Seahawk" vessel and ship jargon. My 11 years old daughter appreciates all, the history, the
lessons within, and the engagement the book brings with its mystery adventure. Readers of all ages and genders can
enjoy this book.
