Rating: Summary: SURVIVAL ON THE MUTINOUS SEAS! Review: This story reads swiftly, hooking you into the action/adventure style from the first sentence. A young American girl finds herself the only passenger--and female--aboard the SEAHAWK, a ship with a sinister reputation in 1832. The voyage from England to America provides maritime mayhem: murder, mutiny, tested courage and loyalties. Thirteen-year-old Charlotte undergoes a social metamorphosis: from Miss Doyle, rich, pampered but helpless female, into Mister Doyle, crew member. (Highly improbable of course, but Avastly entertaining.) Is her conduct scandalous but reasonable for physical and mental survival? That is why she sets forth a frank confession of all that happened to her and how she reasoned out her shipboard role and justified her actions. Read along in her private journal and decide for yourself. Sudden twists of fate and counterplots keep our resourceful heroine on her toes--from the highest rigging to the darkest brig. Is there a ghost on board, along with a stowaway and a possibly insane captain? This read will delight female students who tire of the traditional roles assigned to girls. Even if the ending is highly unlikely, it is satisfying from a Literary point of view. Ship out with the SEAHAWK and you will not be disappointed!
