Product Description:
A vicious captain, a mutinous crew --
and a young girl caught in the middle
Not every thirteen-year-old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial, and found guilty. But I was just such a girl, and my story is worth relating even if it did happen years ago. Be warned, however: If strong ideas and action offend you, read no more. Find another companion to share your idle hours. For my part I intend to tell the truth as I lived it.

The Adventures Of Charlotte Doyle was an amazing book filled with terrific and engenious adventures. This book is so amazing and great that I didn't want to put the book down. My teacher Mrs. Sherman had told my reading group one day that we had to read two chapters of our book. I really didn't want to because I wanted to go outside and play. When I had gotten home though, I had found that I couldn't put the book down. I just had to keep on reading and I couldn't stop. I read two whole chapters more then I had needed to because I had liked the book so much. I didn't have enough time to go outside and play. I didn't really even care though. The book was so amazing that I got myself in and I couldn't get myself out. From this story I laerned that money truley isn't everything. I had heard this saying many, many times before, but only after I had read the book did I truley understand what this was really about. I really truley did enjoy this book, and loved it more then I had ever thought that I would! I really think that you should read this book!

Charlotte Doyle was a great book.It's a great experience. Anyone who's anyone will love this book.
My teacher,Mrs. Sherman,grouped me up with three other girls to read this book.At the sight of the very first page I thought that it was going to be a challenge,a total mess. But as me and my friends read on with Mrs.Sherman,I found it to be very draining at first.I know,it sounds like I had a totally bad temperment about books that have very vivid spelling and words,but trust me,my dad gives me books that are over a thousand pages long and that they have such hard words,you could hardly say them. But when I dug my head deeper into the book and drained my whole days schoolwork to finally understand the book,my mind whizzed with ideas for all my new projects.
When I found out that Charlotte was going to be sailing with a Captain who took a man's arm off for not tying a not correctly,I was frightened.I gasped acouple of times until one of my friend,Brandi,said to me, "Man,try to level your voice,it's just a little chapter book."Jessica,another one of my reading buddies,also added,"Yeah,c'mon.I mean,it's just a character in a book."I never believed them.
Charlotte encountered many adventures with the crew. She finally made partial friends with Zachiriah,the grey cook that was at least seventy. Charlotte, being spoiled and rich,she thought at very first that the crew and men,including the very first mate,Mr.Hollybrass,where unrich,dirty snobs. But poor Charlotte.She was mislead by the Captain, Captain Jaggery,that he was indeed a kind man.I thought about what Charlotte said,about how kind,gentlemen was,and how he was just at her class,and maybe just like her father.
Charlotte though,in the end,found out about the Captain's ways and managed,by mistake,to throw him overboard and have him lost at sea forever.Charlotte was a very brave girl and she and her book deserve five stars.

I was required to read this book for school and couldn't help having a bad attitude towards it. At very first I expected it to be boring and drawn-out but found something much different. This novel shows a girl change in her thoughts, feelings, appearence, and overall self. After an exciting and mysterious voyage on a feared ship whith a twisted crew and captain charlotte finds herself with a whole new perspective. This book has great descriptions, you feel like you know Charlotte very well, it is a little confusing because of the references to the setting of a ship that most people are not familiar with, but shockes you with a surprise ending. Fabulous story that you will thorouly enjoy reading!
