Publisher Description
The amazing autobiographical account of the youngest ever solo circumnavigation of the Earth. First time in English!
If you want to see the other side of the world, you can do two things: turn the world upside down, or travel there yourself.
In 2012, at the age of just 16, Laura Dekker became the youngest sailor ever to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe. In realising her long-held dream, she had not only braved the wild oceans and long weeks of solitude at sea, but also the doubts and sometimes hostile resistance of officials.
In this remarkable account of her incredible journey - for the first time in English - Laura describes in her own words what it is like to sail solo around the world, and the determination it takes to do it at such a young age.
Exciting, awe-inspiring and inspirational, this is a real-life adventure for readers of all ages.

Page Tuner - Sail On !
I saw Laura's Story on Netflix, but so glad I read her Book ..... You feel as if you are Sailing around the World with her ..... You Celebrate the Days, Grow attached to " Guppy " as if it's your Boat & Best Friend - You'll learn to Hate the Netherlands and strike that EVIL Dark Hole from your travel list .... And as the pages wind down become sad the Journey is drawing to a close - Laura & Guppy are easy to CHEER FOR ! You'll feel like you know Laura, and she will maybe awaken the desire and belief in yourself that anything is possible -
