Book Review: The voyage of Patience Goodspeed
Summary: 5 Stars
The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed was written by Heather Vogel Frederick. This book is historical fiction and the book toke place in the Nantucket Islands between 1835-1836. The crew traveled over the ocean hunting for whales.
It's about a girl and her brother whose father is out at sea when their mother died. The father comes back to take the children with him and when he does the first mate get's hurt and has to go home but his replacement takes over the ship. Patience is a kind girl because she takes care of her hyper brother. Thunderes is always hyper and can't swim. Bridgewater is a bad person because he deserted some of the crew. Bridgewater toke over the ship and some of the crew is deserted.
My favorite part of the book is when Patience put's Laudanum in the biscuit's to get back at Bridgewater for taking the ship and Bridgewater thought the biscuits were good because Laudanum was a drug.
I give it 5 stars because if you stop reading for a bit once you put it down you start to wonder what will happen next. I would recommend it for children 9-12 because there is some violence.
Summary of The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed
October 1835. Patience Goodspeed, almost thirteen years old, departs from Nantucket aboard her father's whaling ship. Between kitchen duty and whale blubber stench, this voyage is far from a pleasure cruise. At least Papa lets Patience assist the ship's navigator since she's so good at calculations.But the smooth sailing doesn't last long. Mutinous mates maroon most of the crew, including Patience's father and brother, on a deserted island. Can Patience rescue everyone before it's too late?
