yes, I would recommend it to someone else because it was very interesting and it was about some children who's house got on a fire and their parents passed away. The oldest child was left in charge of everyone else and he lied to everyone else to start their journey to Brittania . It was a 31-day journey so the little baby called Dora was left behind to a kind a lady who looked after her. The other siblings went on the journey in a ship to brittania. There was this rude boy who made swap deck and treated them as servants. He then became nice. They finally reached brittania and the boy [ the evil one who was the owner of the ship] got kidnapped and beaten up. The children finally saved him and they lived happily ever after. I personally, liked every character , not any in particular.
