The Wanderer

Thirteen-year-old Sophie is the only girl on a sailing voyage across the Atlantic--a journey is full of danger and adventure. She keeps a journal of her experiences, and soon the trip becomes one of self discovery as well, traveling into her past to deal with many questions about her life and family.
