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: Dove is a very interesting and exciting book of survival.
Review: Dove is an incredible book. A 16 year old going around the world alone! Although he does find a girl named Patti on the way. Patti and Robin eventually married. Robin's parents had different thoughts about the voyage. His mother didn't want Robin to go, she even sent out helicopters to go after the brave minor! Robin's father had a different perspective of the idea. He was all for it! He thought that Robin should foolow his dream, which is sailing. I hope that you have enjoyed my summary. I highly recommend the book to kids 11 and older. Anyone younger might not understand. I hope that you read the book Dove very soon.

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!

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.
