The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
By:
- Synopsis
- Not every thirteen-year-old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial and found guilty... Charlotte Doyle is just such a girl and she swears to tell the truth in all its detail. It happened during the summer of 1832 aboard a ship called the Seahawk. The only passenger on the long Atlantic Ocean crossing, Charlotte found herself caught between the madness of a ruthless captain and the rage of a mutinous crew. This is her terrifying account of that fateful voyage. "The telling is all hers, masterfully related in a voice that perfectly suits the period and the heroine...A BREATHTAKING SEAFARING ADVENTURE...evokes the sights, sounds and smells of the ship and sea; the moods, terror, and bloodshed of the captain and crew; and the nature of friendship and loyalty."
