An body of water voy­age of unimag­in­able consequences …

Non every thir­teen-year-old daughter is accused of mur­der, brought to tri­al, and found guilty. Just I was merely such a girl, and my sto­ry is worth relat­ing even if information technology did hap­pen years ago. Be warned, how­ev­er: If potent ideas and activeness offend y'all, read no more than. Notice anoth­er com­pan­ion to share your idle hours. For my part I intend to tell the truth as I lived information technology.

Story Behind the Story

I began the last sto­ry virtually a sto­ry by telling how Volume A (Some­thing Upstairs) led to Book B (The Human being who was Poe). Here is the sto­ry how the Poe volume led to Book C,The True Con­fes­sions of Char­lotte Doyle.

Poe is gen­er­al­ly cred­it­ed with hav­ing invent­ed the detec­tive tale with his short sto­ry,Mur­ders on the Rue Morgue. (1841) That sto­ry, pro­constitute­ly influ­en­tial, likewise came to exist known as a "Locked Room Mys­tery." Which is to say some­thing hap­pens in a room that is pre­sum­ably inaccessible.

Well, I thought, liv­ing equally I was on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, what could exist more of a "locked room" than a sail­ing ship at sea?

Reviews

"On a long, gru­el­ing jour­ney from Eng­land to Rhode Island in 1802, a 12-twelvemonth-old changes from a prim and prop­er girl to a swash­buck­ling mate of a muti­nous crew and is defendant of mur­der past the cap­tain. Awash with send­board activ­i­ty, intense feel­ings, and a keen sense of time and place, the sto­ry is a throw­back to skilful old-fash­ioned adven­ture yarns on the high seas .… A breath­tak­ing sea­far­ing adven­ture." (School Library Jour­nal)
