Wow this book was awful. I read it in 6th grade because it was the only choice that seemed decent at the time. I read the whole thing, and every page was awful, but it may be the fact that i don't like Avi's writing, or that it was just poorly written in general. Also, the ending didn't make since/ didn't add to the story at all. I strongly advise you to stay away from this book. Shudder, it was so awful.

[Sarah]

I liked this book when I was 11. I don't think I could read it now and enjoy it the same way. Sorry you did not care for it.

You can't have fried chicken without WAFFLES!

[Tess]

GO WAFFLES! =D

[MJ]

I agree, only I had to read it this year...8th grade...awful!!!!!

[Anna]

Honestly quit posting meaningless discussions.

[Sarah]

Are you kidding? This was the best book ever!

[Anna]

I know but this a totally meaningless discussion, it isn't even a discussion worthy noting let alone written.

[Caity]

LOVE this book. /:)

[Caity]

I think the reason you didn't like it would be cause your a guy....just guessing. lol

ABSOLUTELY! defo one of MY favs!

[[deleted user]]

I read it for summer reading before my sixth grade year, and at first I found it a little slow or boring, but then I actually set my mind to finishing it, and read the whole book in like two hours and ended up loving it.

[Caity]

i so loved it! charlotte is one of my fav fictional characters and Avi is one of my fav authors! his books "Traitors Gate" and "Beyond the Western Sea" are both AMAZING!

[Rose]

What particularly resonated with me the first and second time I read this book as how Charlotte starts off as being this spoiled little princess. Then she buckles down, works on the ship, and becomes part of the crew. I particularly enjoyed *spoiler alert* her choice to leave her life and be on this ship. Her perspective changed and I loved her even more so for that. My hero! It's a shame so many folks on this thread couldn't enjoy it. Albeit the language, the story shines through for me. Charlotte was bold at thirteen. Who knows what her grown up self would look like now? I'd like to see that story.

[Caity]

Yes!! totes agree!
Dear Avi: continuation, please??? =D
lol

[Megan]

Hear, hear! This book was great and fast-paced. I finished it in about three days. I rarely read a book that fast unless it really interests me.

Kudos to Avi. :)

[Caity]

Amen! lol ;D

[Redd]

I think it was a slow burn.

I had to read in 5th grade.. and it isnt the type of book i usually read... But i absolutely LOVED IT!! :D

[Cindy]

It was a read aloud I used in the 90's when I taught 5th grade. I loved it and some of the kids did too.

[Sarah]

I agree! I can not understand why most of you think it was boring! The first chapter was slow, but after that it was an absolutely amazing page-turner. Sorry, but I can't believe you thought it was "boring."

[Cindy III]

Loved it.

[Emily]

I liked it, but it was confussing because I was reading Bloody Jack at the same time, and they are both on ships around the same time period.

PS: If your going to have fried chicken and waffles, you need to season it with bacon and cheese shavings.

I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy it in 8th grade. And is there a moderator who can clean up any non pertinent posts?

i completley agree!

[Nadine]

I was also around eleven or twelve when I read this book, and I absolutely adored it! I still have it, and I'll probably read it again sometime.

[HURRAH! Unbalance Bean]

YOU PEPS IN FRONT ARE IDIOTS! Great book! Can't wait for new movie!

[Lynne]

I read this book when I was in the 5th grade and loved it, but if I was made to read it for school, I probably wouldn't have. What's the movie called?

[Kiki~~다은이♥♥]

This is an amazing book.
It had the perfect ending (except the fact that it was a little rushed), and Avi did a good job writing a book in a girl's point of view.

I enjoyed the book, it was different and exciting. Waffles, however, lack both elements. : )

[Katie]

I agree! Who cares about fried chicken and waffles... Sure there okay... But the books even better! Honestly! Why would you even care to talk about fried chicken and waffles.


This book was amazing. It had adventure... action... survival. It was really exciting to me, and I couldn't put it down. If you haven't read it, its a good, (I mean great) book!

[Katie]

WOW!!! This book us again amazing, and your hear talking about WAFFLES???? WOW!! This is a reading website!!!
:)

I saw waffles. And whip cream. Yummy =)

[Raymond]

waffles are good how could you forget a waffle with whip cream. i am sure a book can not do that Katie.
True confession of Charlotte doyle is good, but not as good as to forget a waffle with whip cream.
Yummy food, yucky true confession of charlotte Doyle.

[Sarah]

They're making a film of the book, I can't wait to see it. Hope it doesn't turn out as disappointing as the Dark is rising movie (the only part of the book they kept was the title and the name of the main character - and tried to make it into a harry potter type story)
