Summary: My Summary of Charlotte Doyle
Review: Charlotte Doyle is a thirteen year old girl going from Enland to Providence, Rhode Island on the Seahawk, a ship which no man dares to sail because of the dreaded captain, Andrew Jaggery. Charlotte meets two new friends on board. Her first friend is Zacheria, the only African-American on board, who's also the ships cook, carpenter, priest, etc. Charlotte's next friend is a false friend, Captain Jaggery. At first he acts like a gentleman, and that convinces Charlotte that he's a true friend. As Charlotte spies on the crew for the captain, she finds a pistol and a round robin with the crew, and when she reports it to Captain Jaggery, he whips Zacheria. When she turns against him, she has no friends, but eventually ends up becoming a member of the crew. CAptain Jaggery cannot find a problem with her (he wants to punish her for insulting him,) he kills first mate Hollybrass, and she ends up getting blamed for it. Zacheria has a plan to stop the captain, but can they succeed before Charlotte is hanged in twenty-four hours?

I thought this story was O.K. Here are my reasons: 1.It was an adventure story, and I like action in a book. 2. It was exciting, and it always left you wondering what would happen next. 3. It did go into a little too much detail, but it was still a good book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Wounderful book Of Charlotte Doyle...
Review: What I thought of the book was really good.About a 13 yearold girl that abourd the seahawk.And with no other passengers just only men aboard.There was alot of excitement in the stories and sad parts.The Best part was she ws trying to be a crew member.

It all started June16,1832.The seahawk took sail from England to provedece,Rodeisland.On the sail the crew members really didn't want Charlotte Dolye on board the seahawk. After a while the shiptook sail Miss Dolye went to meet the captain. When they where still on sea Captain Jaggary cused Charlotte the death Of Mr.Hollybrass. Two days after trail Captain Jaggary fell overboard so Miss Doyle Became the captain.

Summary: Spectacular Story of Friendship and Betrayal
Review: Follow Miss Charolette Doyle, a 13-year-old, loving, and fun-seeking girl in 1832, as she departs from Liverpool, England on a journey to Providence, Rhode Island on the Seahawk. She is a proper, well-educated girl who, in the end seeks adventure. She travels across the Atlantic Ocean and learns about truth, betrayal, and friendship. When this adventurous and somewhat-nosy girl, Charolette, soon finds herself in an uncomfortable position, unable to trust anyone on the ship, she needs to act fast! Will she be quick enough? Will anyone trust her? Will anyone in Providence believer her story?

I like the book because it was adventurous, intriguing, and exciting. Some parts are gorey, and some are quite boring. If at first you don't like the plot, don't stop reading! You'll regret it later! You will love this story.

Summary: Boring...........then...........Grrrrreat!
Review: Carolotte Doyl is a very proper girl who is sailing to Providence, Rhode Island. She is going to be sailing with a family, but she comes to find out that they will not be aboard. Carolotte becomes good friends with Captain Jaggery, Captain Jaggery told her to look for signs of death. Later there is a big problem. Is Charolette safe?

I thought True Confesions of Charolette Doyl was going to be boring but you read the 2nd and 3rd chapters it struck me! This book is soooo great. Now I think do not judge a book by its cover! You should read it.

Summary: Very good book
Review: Chalotte Doyle is sailing across sea to see her family. Everything goes fine at first. A big problem happens and
Charlotte becomes apart of the crew. Then a big hurricane comes.
After the hurricane was over, the first mate was murdered and
Charlotte was accused of the murder. Did she really do it?

I thought the book was boring at first, but once you get into it, it's really exciting. It gets really exciting at the end.
It's almost like a mystery.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an awesome book
Review: I thought the book was great i thought the book was going to be incredibly boring but i was wrong. its starts out pretty slow but when on the Seahawk it is great she gets a knife sees a head of someone unknown some parts do seem strange and they get easier to understand as the book gos on.She also finds a gun uses a whip and betrays one of her best friends on the ship. The captain also tells her a few things to look for when she finds some of them a ton of trouble breaks loose.
