Summary: A boy who sailed around the world alone on Dove
Review: I'm in 7th grade and i read this book for my ID (Geodraphy & L. Arts) class. It is a very fun class and my teachers are very nice. This book is about a boy that is 16 yrs old and he sails around the world in a sloop named Dove. I only recommend this book if you like sailing and storms. These are the reasons why I don't like this book that much. My teachers love it. Each table has a chapter to do a project and our group did chapter 7. I liked the culture of South Africa. It is cool

Summary: This book was ok
Review: I am in a 7th grade interdiplisenary class and we read the book DOVE. I thought it was an ok book. i can understand why it is not so good though, this author was not experienced. I am not very in to auto-biographies, so that is why. But other people's opinions differ and a lot of other people say it was a very good book.

Summary: I thought the book 'DOVE' was a fun book to read.
Review: Hello my name is Alexis and I go to Sycamore Jr. High School in Cincinnait, Ohio. When our joined classes read the book DOVE I thought it was great. Each group would read a chapter and then would explain it to the class. We used a very hands-on methed to try to learn abot Robin and his trip around the world in a 24-foot sloop. {the boat the he used} It was fun to learn about someone so close to our own ages to do something so brave! In his marvelous adventure, he learns about love, loss, and many truely incredibel experiences. I only wish that I could be as brave as him!

Summary: A highly recommended book!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I am in an Interdisiplinary class, and we did a project on the book. I really learned a lot about the different countries and their cultures. I really got a feel for where Robin was during the book and what he was doing. I think that it was very well written and very detailed. I wish I had as much courage as Robin did to sail around the world!

Summary: So far so good!
Review: I just started reading the book Dove in my Id class, once I picked it up I couldn't stop reading it but I had to because of further class assignments. So if you pick up the book and start reading it and don't like it then I suggest that you keep going because the farther u read the better it gets!

Summary: A teacher's perspective
Review: I have been using Dove as a nonfiction novel in my interdisciplinary LA/Geography classroom for several years. It is used as the introduction to the class at the beginning of the school year. My students are 7th graders. They have a positive response to Dove and the movie. Let me know if anyone does something similiar. I have great ideas for guest speakers and field trips. My partner and I have a whole unit planned and are always looking for new ideas. My students would love to know what Robin is currently doing. We've written him but haven't gotten a response.

Review: I first read the book when I was sixteen(the same age as Robin) and it has always given me something to aspire to. Like many people, I would love to know what he and Patti are doing now.
