Carlota

This was the best book, but okay. My mom was reading it to me & my brothers @ night and yes, I often wondered what would happen next. It was about a tomboy, who was trying to be like her dead older brother. (if that makes sense) I wouldn't read it again, but it was worth reading. If u need something to read in a short time, this would be a good book for u.

This was a good book, even though Scott O' Dell has written better books. I really don't know how to summarize it, except that this is a book about a tomboy Spanish girl. It's first point of view, and (very) good if you just want a quick read, or an easy book to do a book report on, like I did. ^_^

Carlota is about a girl who lives in California during the Spanish/American wars. Her father raises her to take the place of her dead son, Carlos. She dives for gold in shark infested waters to help pay for their ranch. Carlota de Zubarán and her father help fight in minor offshoots of the main war and protect their ranch from American invaders. I give this book four stars because it is clearly written, but is boring in some places. I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more Scott O'Dell books.

This is a story about a girl who lived in California a long time ago(as in about 1846). She was brought up like a tom-boy in the place of her dead brother, Carlos. This is an exelent story about how Carlota's struggles to become her own person. I'm 12 yrs. old, Iloved this book, and all other's I've read by Scott O'Dell
