The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
Review by Tommy H.
This quarter I read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle as my FRB. This book is about a young girl named Charlotte who is on her way to America to reunite with her family. But I must warn you if you fear highly intense, heart-pounding action I highly recommend you do not read this book. But ify ou're not scared of a little action this could be a really good book for you to read.
In this story, Charlotte makes friends with Zacharia, the cook on the ship, and they spend most of the day talking to each other and telling stories. But one day when Charlotte finds a round robin, Zacharia gets killed. Charlotte feels it's her fault, so she volunteers to be a replacement on the crew. This choice sets up a lot of trouble for Charlotte.
Charlotte is aboard the Sea Hawk with the captain of the ship, Andrew Jaggery, who first seems like a gentleman but might just be evil enough to commit murder. When Charlotte makes one mistake, she is accused of murder. She is accused because the dagger that killed the man belonged to her. It was a gift from Zacharia that turned into a ticket to death. Charlotte knows the penalty for murder is to hang by your neck until dead. Will Charlotte get out of this pickle? Read to find out!
