AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE  

The school ship Tobermory is on another adventure.  The crew sets off from Scotland to Australia where they are going to participate in a tall ships race.  The kids are around twelve years old and along with their regular schooling, they learn how to man the ship.  Exciting side adventures happen along the way, including being chased by crocodiles, but in the end the crew works together and enjoys being at sea.  

I love this series for younger readers because there is suspense and adventure, but at the same time the characters are kind and work together.  There are little illustrations throughout, and it is a fast read. This is a good series with feel-good story lines.
