Cast Off: The Strange Adventures of Petra de Winter… by Eve Yohalem
Love, love, love this seafaring adventure with so much historical detail and a moving unlikely friendship. Definitely recommended for fans of Charlotte Doyle and Jacky Faber.
'Escape Under the Forever Sky' is a true story written by Eve Yohalem that tells the story of a girl who is kidnapped in Africa who survives the African wilderness based on the books she has read about the animals of Africa. After disobeying her mother, 13 year old Lucy Hoffman becomes kidnapped and learns many things about the village people and African culture she has been immersed into. This is a great story for children who enjoy wild animals and vivid diction to describe the scenery and events taking place in the story.… (more)
Exciting middle-grade historical adventure. Full of the dangers of life aboard a 17th Century merchant ship, it also shows the birth of a great friendship and a girl discovering her true self. Exciting, adventurous and often quite sweet and charming. I would love to see a sequel showing the adventures of Petra and Bram after the end of the book.
Took me awhile to get through this because of my schedule. In the end, despite a slow patch in the middle, the last third picked up considerably, resulting in a captivating sea yarn good for readers not developmentally ready for the Bloody Jack series.
