The Wanderer

This is an okay book written by Sharon Creech. Thirteen-year-old Sophie is the only girl amongst the crew of the Wanderer, made up of her three uncles and two cousins in her adoptive family. They sail across the Atlantic toward England, to meet Bompie, the kids’ grandfather. Her cousin Cody isn’t quite sure why his father wanted him to come along, as they usually don’t get along. Sophie tells stories about Bompie, even though she has never met him.
