This book is so amazing and great that I didn't want to put the book down. My teacher Mrs. Sherman had told my reading group one day that we had to read two chapters of our book.

I read two whole chapters more ... Read More Rating: - Charlotte Doyle,was a great book!Read it!Charlotte Doyle was a great book.It's a great experience. Anyone who's anyone will love this book. My teacher,Mrs. Sherman,grouped me up with three other girls to read this book.At the sight of the first page I thought that it was going to be a challenge,a total mess. But as me and my friends read on with Mrs.Sherman,I found it to be very draining at first.I know,it sounds like I had a totally bad temperment about books that have very vivid spelling and words,but trust me,my dad gives me books ...
