A Kid's Review

This review is from: The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle: With Connections (HRW Library) (Hardcover)

Imagine living in the year 1832, a time when immigrants swept the nation. Young Charlotte Doyle goes from thirteen year old proper young lady, to murderer waiting to be hung. However there is more to the story.....
My favorite part of the book has to do with the cruelty of the captain, and the mutiny the crew plans, but Charlotte gets in the middle of it all.
To find out the rest of this compelling adventure, I recommend , True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, written by, Avi.

This is one of my all time favorite books to read aloud to my class of 5th graders. We enjoy the suspense and the descriptive writing of Avi. It is enjoyable for both girls and boys alike.
