    Not sure if any one can remember what they did when they were 16 years old. But Abby Sunderland can sure remember what she did when she was that age. Tried to sailed solo around the world, and she nearly did it. But maybe God has his own plans for her.

    The book is by her and point of views from those involved. From her dad to the technical guys who guided her when she had mechanical problem. Doing some thing solo is never easy but to be at sea all alone can be very difficult if the mental strength was not strong enough. Certain sections of the book brought tears to my eyes cause of what she had to go through.

    She overcame adversity by knowing what she can or cannot do and her faith in God. I would recommend this book to every teenager/even adults out there who is facing adversity.

    In my opinion I give this book a rating 5 out of 5.

    I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their Booksneeze bloggers program. I was not asked to write a positive review and thus, the book review is 100% my own opinion.

    I just received and read the book Unsinkable by Sunderland and Vincent. This was a very straight forward and easy to read. It was very inspiring because it centered on a girl my very own age! Abby Sunderland had a dream and she met many obstacles on here way to meeting that dream, but she persevered and grew closer to God the whole time. It gives me hope that I can maybe meet the smaller goals I have set for my own life.

    Right away this book sucked me in and it was very hard to put it down. This novel is written by Abby Sutherland and Lynne Vincent. It is the story of 16year old Abby's dream to sail solo around the world (Abby's brother completed this mission in his teens in 2009). Through her journey she encounters many problems and I am envious of her courage, strength, and determanation. Abby's parents, Laurence and Marianne wanted their kids to grow up experiencing the whole world and its different cultures. When Abby was 13 she realized her dream of sailing solo around the world, and she set off in 2010 to do so. This book comes complete with many colour pictures of Abby, her family, her journeys on the seas, and her boat. Right off the bat, I got confused with some of the 'sailing lingo' used, but after I finished reading this book, i discovered there was a guide to the nautical terms used. I wish I had discovered this sooner! This book is written in three different perspectives, with little pictures to let you know when the narration is changing. The three narators are Abby herself, Lynne Vincent, and those who rescued her. Abby is a very motivated girl, and her stories in this book are very honest and open. I would recomment this book to others, and will continue to read it over and over again!

    I really enjoyed this book. I don't really have interest in boating but after seeing this girl on the news and such I had to pick up the book and read about her life. This book is simply awesome. It takes you step by step into a young girls boat ride around the world and how she does it by herself.

    I want to say that this book was not really a Christian book but a nice read anyway. I enjoyed reading about Abby Sunderland and her family. The book flowed nicely and I could not put it down. I was amazed at how amazing this girl was the whole time she out on her boat going around the world. She is so strong and brilliant and I could never be like her. She fixed all kind of problems by herself on the boat such as mechanical problems, being wet all the time and more.

    And reading about her ordeal made me appreciate how much I am thankful for and how much we can do something if we put our mind to it. She did so much for her age and it shows throughout her ordeal on the boat.

    I also want to say that based on this book, the media had it all wrong. Her family did not push her into doing this trip, she wanted to and did it all on her own. The media also said that she was inexperienced and would not make it. But she did and on her own too. Near the end she did have to call for help and be rescued but the whole rest of the trip she did it by herself with no helping her and was very experienced. I will be sharing this book with everyone I know.
