It was very thoughtful, and well written. It teaches you a lot about life in the 1500's. It was a bit sad in some parts, but very happy in the end. I really enjoyed it. A young homeless girl who is called Brat, is found in a dung heap by Jane the midwife. Brat (who is now called Beetle) is tormented and teased, and decides to run away from the unhappy village, along with her cat, Purr. They soon find a new home, and meet new friends there. They have many adventures, and soon find the true meaning of courage.

This is NOT a girly book! It is really about a thirteen year old becoming a sailor! Charlotte has to take a trip across the Atlantic Ocean, and since this is the 1800s, the only way is by boat. Charlotte finds out she is the only passenger on the ship. But when the crew mutinies, Charlotte must prove to them that she is useful so she does not get thrown overboard!

Eleven-year-old Brendan Buckley is a lot of things: an aspiring scientist, a tae kwon do warrior, and the child of a biracial marriage. He had a great relationship with his father's dad, but he's never even met his mother's father, and he's not sure why. When they accidentally meet up at a rock show, Brendan decides he needs to apply the scientific method to the mystery of his family. In the process, he learns about racism, integrity, and what it takes to bring a family back together. Librarian review
