They sail across the Atlantic toward England, the land of Bompie, her grandfather. The sea calls to Sophie - promising adventure and the chance to explore and discover. But the personal journey she takes brings her deeper into a forgotten past than she ever knew she could travel to.

This book was a little hard to start reading in the beginning, because it was so boring. But as I read on, it got better. I wouldn't read this if it's supposed to be "fun reading".

Do you like to read books about the sea and boats? This book has that in it and you will LOVE it! So do what i did read the book more than once so you get what this book is really about, and try to relate it to your own life. Then tell one of your friends about this book--I'm sure they will like it too!

If you love the ocean, you will like sailing along with this book. The characters sound real and I'd like to meet them. I'd also like to travel across the ocean although I'm not brave like Sophie. There is enough mystery about the main character to keep kids reading!
