I like this book because it is a true story. When the captain got sick, everybody was working hard and there were two captains. When there was a storm, the kids had to tie themselves to the ship so they won't fall off.

Nice fictional account of a family of a Clipper Ship Captain in the 1850’s.

[Jamie]

Cute but no real story line per say. It's confusing what the goal is.

i like this book because the Murdock family always knew what they were doing to help the ship by taking care of the ship. in this book of the clipper ship, the Murdock family was in New York and they went to California. They went to San Franclsco to get all the passengers to California so they can have a better life.

Clipper Ship is about a family that lives on a boat and they go all around the world.They have to watch out for icebergs and storms. Also, because if they don't, that might of been their last trip ever. Read the book to find out what happens next.
