Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Ireland

This book was one of my favourites ever since fifth grade, I loved the flow of this story and how many things you could find to relate to.
Starting out on the cold dirt- ridden streets there lives a orphaned girl with the rest of her gang of poor orphaned children. The adventure begins when Mary, the main character in this book, discovers a newfound wanting for adventure inside herself which leads to where she boards a ship as a crewmember.
I found this book to be page-turning and suspenseful when she decided to disguise herself as a boy (for girls were not allowed to be a crewmember)and board the ship to join the other lives of the boys around her.
From there on her journey leads through the waves and storms of the seas where she seeks for her true purpose and trys to keep hidden her biggest secret, that she is a girl!
I strongly reccomend this book to anyone for it was an amzing story and I think anyone would enjoy it!
