The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

Back of book:
Not every 13-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.”
