Avi’s swashbuckling tale of murder and mutiny on the high seas has a fascinating twist: the heroine is a 13-year-old girl. In 1832, Charlotte Doyle boards a ship bound for America and is caught in a battle between a mad captain and his ruthless crew. If you’re looking for an action-packed adventure story for girls, you’ll find it in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.

This was a good book to listen with my teenage daughter. She started as uninterested and ended up learning a lot about a sailor's life and enjoying to the end.

Great hear!

The story itself was really good! It has a lot a twists and I always found myself wanting to continue reading! The one thing that I did not like was the audio. I would keep hearing the reader breathing and swallowing. In addition to that, during the beginning half of the book the reader kept taking loud breaths of air in between every 2-3 word, however this became less noticeable towards the end of the reading. I give the story a 4/5 and the performance 3/5 since the reader did do a good job at showing emotion and changing characters voices!

50/50

I read this Newberry Honor book aloud to my kids when they were pre-teens, enjoyed its exciting clipper ship setting then and enjoyed it again now. Although I had to suspend my disbelief a few times as the plot becomes ever more complicated... I found I was glad to do it. To me the narration was pretty good considering the variety of voices involved in the book and I honestly didn't notice loud inhaling. Heroine does a 180 degree change in beliefs, behavior, capability and self esteem which depending on your view may be good or bad. It made for some good thought questions and processing with my kids. Would be a fun family listen for cross country trip.

Newberry Honor Book for a reason...

Alexandra O'Karma did a fabulous job with this story. Having previously read the book, she portrayed Charlotte just as I had imagined her to be, not to mention the great job she did with all of the other characters. Now I am interested in both more stories by Avi and more performances by Alexandra O'Karma!!!

Fabulous story narrated wonderfully!!!

This is an excellent novel! My class thoroughly enjoyed the content, but endured the author's voice, which in all honesty was quite distracting.

Great story, weird voice
