Synopsis (My Personal Version):
This book begins by introducing you to a group of children that are unlikely to be friends; but they are brought together by unfortunate events. They are stowaways, and each one is an orphan. Ranging from ages 6 to 16, these children begin an adventure unlike any other. You are then introduced to Christopher, a child whose parents have gone missing. He finds his way with the other orphans, and they go on a huge journey, trying to find his parents and some treasure.
My Thoughts:
This book is a the work of a genius. I never read books like these, mostly because this style is not my typical 'mystery, true-crime, or street lawyer' books. I decided to venture out of my comfort zone, because this seemed like a really fun book. I was right. It felt like I was on the adventure, and Christopher was my captain. The descriptions were so vivid that I was able to picture the people, scenery, and dialogue like it was happening right next to me. This book can be for an advanced reader all the way to an adult. I absolutely enjoyed this book, and I really look forward to the next in the series.
