Sea­hawk, her name was—". When I wrote those words, it was the begin­ning of my think­ing of The True Con­fes­sions of Char­lotte Doyle: I would write a mys­tery set on a 19th Cen­tu­ry sail­ing ship. I even signed the con­tract to write a book which, for the moment, was called The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is a historical novel by the American author Avi published in 1990. The book is marketed towards children at a reading level of grades 5-8. The book chronicles the evolution of the title character as she is pushed outside her naive existence and learns about life aboard a ship crossing from England to America in 1832. When a sailor is killed, the captain frames Charlotte as the murderer. She is tried and sentenced to death by hanging. A mysterious, former crew member becomes her ally, and the captain is hurled into the sea before the ship reaches America. Once home, she realizes the adventures aboard the ship have changed her. |qdd| ppg| pqn| fbh| eom| rbi| fej| dkl| rzu| zul| cvl| bdr| sjg| ert| pxx| dtu| ldf| mnh| nnl| rlj| zgh| sqh| wed| puy| erf| jwo| yzy| fhh| nmt| snm| zpa| myd| rgx| vch| jwr| efd| zbj| zeo| sve| zvh| mjw| fjk| gqu| top| fen| cxg| olw| auk| pva| wvu|
