Review: I really liked this book even though it was one I had to read over the summer for school. I ended up wanting to keep reading it. Charlotte Doyle is a brave teenager. The book also tells you a lot about being on a sailing ship in the 1800s.

Summary: The book was great, I loved it
Review: 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

Summary: Review for Charolette Doyle
Review: Recently I read "The True Confessions of Charolette Doyle" by Avi. This book was a combination of adventure and mystery. The main characters in the book were, of course, Charlotte, Captain Andrew Jaggery and Zachariah. During the last semester her parents left on a ship to go to Providence to get settled in their new home. They wanted Charlotte to finish the school year and then she was instructed to take the Seahawk to Providence with two other famailies. When she arrived at the dock, the other famalies were not there, so she traveled alone. Once she boarded the ship, she realized that there was no turning back. During the voyage, she changed dramatially. Most of the story took place on the Seahawk, an American ship that departed from Liverpool, England and docked in Providence, Rhode Island. The story takes a surprising turn.
