Wide Waters

by Monica Boothe

12-year-old Charlie Sands was raised on the quiet banks of colonial Maryland, but when her guardian dies unexpectedly, she’s faced with a choice: spend the winter alone in her wooden cabin or sail in search of her seafaring parents.
Rough waters and navigation charts are the least of Charlie’s problems. When she gets captured by pirates, Charlie is determined to find a way to not only make it to her parents’ ship, but to prove to them once and for all that she’s fit to be a permanent member of their crew.

This story was very captivating, everytime that I wanted to stop and go to sleep, there was something new that caught my attention. I like how the characters and the relations between them are unraveled slowly, you learn more about the main character's backstory. I really love this book, definitely would recommend!

I enjoyed this episode of Beneath the Black Flag very much. Charlie is quite a strong female lead even at her young age. I recommend it.

Almost 4*.
The story about Charlie's adventure in the sea. Interesting story.

Charlie's parents are really annoying though. Why bother have a child just to be left alone for half a year..
