The sea, the sea, the sea. It rolled and rolled and called to me. Come in, it said, come in. Sophie hears the sea calling, promising adventure as she sets sail for England with her three uncles and two cousins. Sophie's cousin Cody isn't sure he has the strength to prove himself to the crew and to his father. Through Sophie's and Cody's travel logs, we hear stories of the past and the daily challenges of surviving at sea as The Wanderer sails toward its destination -- and its passengers search for their places in the world.

This book is so sweet and great. 
I am pretty sure my younger sister accidentally stole this from her elementary school library during a move. 
I found this book in her room and read it out of curiosity and I am so glad I did because I still think about it. I love a good book about boats. It's my favorite kind of book! This one has so many other elements that were so pleasant! It was the right amount of happy and sad and I love it.
