If you're not a big fan of the ocean, this might not be the book for you. The Wanderer is the story of Sophie, who crosses the Atlantic ocean with her uncles and cousins, to England, where her grandfather lives. And yikes! Days of bad weather and rough seas nearly kill the entire crew, and bring them closer together at the same time.
By part II, the reader begins to get a hint that something is not quite right with Sophie. There is a back story there, and Sophie seems to be the only one aware of it. The mystery is expertly woven through the rest of the story.
A Newberry Honor Book, The Wanderer is a good book for 3rd through 8th graders.
