Thirteen-year-old Charlotte Doyle is excited to return home to Rhode Island from her school in England during the summer of 1832. But when the two families she was supposed to travel with myste- riously cancel their trips, Charlotte finds herself the lone passenger on a long sea voyage with a cruel captain and a mutinous crew. Worse yet, soon after stepping aboard the ship, she becomes enmeshed in a conflict between them! What begins as an eagerly anticipated ocean crossing turns into a harrowing journey, where Charlotte gains a villain- ous enemy... and is put on trial for murder! The book is brand new and has never been used.
