What Members Thought

This was such a fun book. I enjoyed every minute of it. It is full of sail boat descriptions and sailing terms. I learned what a traveler is. Swallos and Amazons reminded me of the Boxcar children. These are children living with minimal adult supervision and doing it well. i wish I had read this book when I was ten.
