I generally do not enjoy maritime novels as they seem slow and covered in ship jargon. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle was a refreshing exception to this standard. The story is about Charlotte Doyle, a young woman who has just…

I really enjoyed this swashbuckling adventure story. Charlotte learned about herself and how strong she was. She had many scary things happen, but faced them all. It was very suspenseful. I would recommend this story to middle school…

This book is the ultimate version of "You can't judge a book by its cover" because you can't judge this book or any of its characters by their "covers". Is Charlotte only the proper young lady she appears to be? Is Captain Jaggery really…

I have read this two times now. I thought maybe after further understanding it, it wouldn't be as boring. But, it just "bleh". Honestly it's boring, and just when you think it will become exciting it ends up really being nothing.

One of the most AMAZING books I have ever encountered! Exquisite writing and plot is convincing. Charlotte is very proper and precise, but then she spends a month or so on a ship with all males... Timeless Classic

A sea story in the same vein as the excellent Jacky Faber series, but rather more serious. I liked the ending, even if the heroine potentially exchanged one form of bondage for another..

It was a pretty good book, although Charlotte made me bang my head against the bedroom wall three or four times at the beginning. She's so stupid!! Take a hint, girl! She smartens up after a while though. However, I do think that, given…

This is a surprisingly good adventure story. Don't let the cheesy cover fool you.
