This was my favorite book when I was 12. I would recomend it. It is a great story of a strong young woman thrown into a crazy circumstance. She begins a well bred young lady and a passenger on a sailing vessel going across the Atlantic. By the end, she is a completly different woman.

It's an excellent read.

I read this book in 4th or 5th grade and just re-read it... Just as before, it was hard to put down.

Not every thirteen-year old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial and found guilty.

This is an amazing story that you won't want to put down. I read it to myself, then read it to my 10 and 11 year old daughters who also couldn't get enough of it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a riviting tale about the high seas that everyone should read. A good book.

A spellbinding tale of intrique and murder on the high seas.

"A spellbinding tale of intrigue and murder on the high seas," the cover says. And indeed it is. A young girl is the only passenger - and the only female - on a long Atlantic crossing on an 1832 sailing ship with an evil captain and a mutinous crew. Good story.

Very good!

From School Library Journal
On a long, grueling journey from England to Rhode Island in 1802, a 12 year old changes from a prim and proper girl to a swashbuckling mate of a mutinous crew and is accused of murder by the captain. Awash with shipboard activity, intense feelings, and a keen sense of time and place, the story is a throwback to good old-fashioned adventure yarns on the high seas.
