In the summer of 1832, 13 year-old Charlotte Doyle is excited to sail across the Atlantic. At the beginning of her trip, Charlotte finds herself the lone passenger on a long sea voyage with a cruel captain and a mutinous male crew. Worse yet, soon after stepping aboard the ship, she becomes enmeshed in a conflict between them! Her journey, once eagerly anticipated, became treacherous.
