Review of 'The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I greatly enjoyed this book and it's strong lead character. This is the fifth book in my quest to read from my friend's "10 books that influenced" lists, and being a young-adult book, I read it aloud with my daughter. Her rating is five stars, and here is some of what she had to say:
The book, "The True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle" was one of the best books I have ever read. it shows the story of a 12-year old girl, who lead a normal life. when she boarded the ship, "The Seahawk" her life changed forever.
"Doing her part like we all was,", the captain echoed in a mocking tone. "Mr. Barlow, you are not young. In all your years have you ever seen, ever heard of a girl who took up crew's work?"
Definitely recommended.
