Stowaway
by Karen Hesse
slow,boring and dreaded (4/13/2009)
I got this book for a school project. the back and cover made it seem good, but it got boring to me after 2 days. I understand the book but it was so boring that it took me over 3 weeks to finish even though I skipped parts. So many dead people. So many mean people like the butcher and the captain. There are also so many people that it gets confusing!
