Rating: Summary: Newbery Honor book "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" Review: When I read on the cover of this book, "A spellbinding tale of intrigue and murder on the high seas", I knew I had to try it out. And I must say, the book delivers a truly wonderful tale worthy of the Newbery Honor it received. It is the year 1832 and thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle is being summoned by her family to return to America. But what they don't know is that he two families who were to accompany Charlotte have suddenly decided not to go! Before she knows it, Charlotte is the lone lady passenger on board the 'Seahawk'. Though Captain Jaggery seems to be the only gentleman among the rough crew, Charlotte discovers that all is not what is seems. When she befriends the old cook Zachariah, she finds out that something is about to happen, something she never dreams would happen! Throughout the deadly voyage on the high seas, Charlotte will be tested in her courage, find out her true loyalties, and discover is she has the will to survive!A truly amazing and thrilling tale, "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" will not disappoint. It starts off a bit slow I must confess for me but my feelings for the book changed almost immediately. A definite must-read for all young adults. Charlotte Doyle is such a remarkable character that you can't help but relate to her. In the beginning I was a bit startled by her actions of being 'the young lady' and how she must act the part. But soon I began to cheer her on as she began to really open her eyes to the situation growing around her. Avi is truly a wonderful author and has proven the range of talent he/she has. I mean, I have had the book "Romeo and Juliet - Together (and Alive!) At Last", which is a totally hilarious book! I just laugh every time I read the book. But in "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle", there is a sort of classic novel feel to it. If you liked this book or enjoy reading funny stories, don't miss "Romeo and Juliet - Together (and Alive!) At Last".
Rating: Summary: An Excellent and Entertaining Read! Review: To begin, I would like to say that the True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is very well written. The reader feels that they know the characters personally and are involved in the story. In addition, this book is filled with action, but is also tastefully flavored with a hint of mystery. It could be that only the experienced younger reader would enjoy this book, as it commonly uses ship slang that could get confusing, or slow the story down, or both. But I think that this was an excellent read, and I hope others will take pleasure in it as well. I definately reccomend it!
Rating: Summary: One Brave Soul Review: ...A young thirteen-year-old girl named Charlotte Doyle going to school in liver pool is leaving to go back home to Providence Road Island aboard the mighty Seahawk. Once aboard she finds her self-being the only passenger, and very lonely, until she is befriended by the cook Zechariah. When he dies Charlotte is alone and is faced with a lot of sacrifices and adventures. This Story was great. I loved the characters in it expressly Charlotte she was brave and Zechariah he was loyal and Captain Jiggery he was the person that put the chill down my spine. A lot was going on and so many things happened before the climax of the book. The author gave a lot of detail but not too much. The conflicts between everyone are existing never would have expected some of the stuff that happened it was all good. When the book was over I kind of wanted the book to keep going but I was kind of glad because in some parts it dragged on. I would recommend this book to all readers who are looking for a good book with adventure and mystery. It's a great plot and the characters are lots of fun

Rating: Summary: What a great book Review: I loved the book The True Confessions of Charolotte Doyle. It was very exiting and led me to read chapter after chapter. My favorite part was when Charolotte was stuck in the middle of a fight between Captain Jaggery and his crew. When I started reading this book it was so exiting I wanted to read the whole book rite then and there. This book kept me on the edge of my chair the entire time. Charolotte Doyle is a thirteen year old girl that is a very prim-and-proper girl. She boards a ship called the Sea Haulk and the captains name is Captain Andrew Jaggery. Charolotte makes good friends with the captain and his crew until she gets caut in the middle of a fight between Mr. Jaggery and his crew.Charolotte finds something that surprizes her in a crew-mates storage chest that leads to a battle with everyone.
