Summary: The Greatest Story Ever Told...
Comment: I was cheaply disappointed that this wasn't about pirates, but what can you do? Sailors freak me out, but in this story I actually kinda enjoyed reading about them. Charlotte is the greatest character! She was so brave in the story. This is the best book for girls to read. It shows that you can do anything you want, even though it's impossible. The author writes really good, but I think he should have picked a better year to write about, like 1720 or something. Also it didn't have a very good beginning and I almost stopped reading it. I mean who starts out saying, "Just before dusk on June 16, 1832..."? He should have said, "The wind blew fiercely across the ocean, as I stood there on the docks of Liverpool, England..." Anyway, this book still remains my most favorite book ever. But a couple more things wrong with it: Charlotte appeared dumb at times, not figuring out the obvious, she didn't act very proper and rich, even from the beginning, she should have had lots of passengers on board with her, a nice cabin and maybe even someone like an aunt. But that's just my opinion...
P.S.
(Yes, it could be possible to join the crew even with others aboard.)

Summary: The book was great, I loved it
Comment: I have just read the book "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi. This book was both an adventure novel and a mystery. There are three main characters in this book; Charlotte, Captain Jaggery, and Mr. Zachariah. Charlotte is thirteen years old. Before she went on her voyage she attended the Barrington School for girls in Liverpool, England. Captain Andrew Jaggery was a brutal captain to his crew. He also befriended Charlotte in the beginning of the story before she accidentally whipped him in the face. Zachariah was the cook on the ship for awhile until he faked death and lived in the steerage. He also became good friends with Charlotte throughout the whole book. The story takes place in 1832, on a ship called the Seahawk that left Liverpool, England and sailed for Providence, Rhode Island. The book was very interesting. It was about a girl, named Charlotte, who had just finished school and was ready to come home. Her parents got her a boat ride so she could get back to Rhode Island. When she got on the ship everyone seemed very nice, until the crew decided to take avenge on the captain. This is where it started getting hectic. Zachariah faked death they found a stowaway and Charlotte decided to become on of the crew. When she was blamed for murder and found guilty, I got scared. Well, if you want to no the ending read the book yourself. Some of my favorite scenes were with Zachariah in the steerage, because they were talking mostly about what was happening in the book and I could understand it more. I Also liked the scenes because Zachariah was my favorite character. The book was exiting. I would rate it an eight out of ten. I think you would like the book if you like adventures and aren't afraid of reading
