This book was so exciting when I read it as a kid. A proper wealthy victorian girl ends up joining the crew of this old mutinous ship! She learns how to be part of the crew and how to use a knife and how to do sailing stuff. And she's accused of murder!
It still mostly holds up. As an adult, it kind of strains credulity, but it's still a lot of fun. The writing is pretty good, and it still makes me want to go on an adventure (though probably not on a ship). Charlotte is more annoying that I remember at the beginning of the novel, but I warmed up to her as her values change throughout the book. Would recommend this to kids looking for a quick adventure story.
