We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea
Arthur Ransome
‘Now Susan,’ Mother said, ‘And you too, John. No night sailing. No going outside the harbour. And back the day after tomorrow. Promise.’But promises can’t always be kept. Within twenty-four hours John, Susan, Titty and Roger find themselves fighting a night gale in the treacherous waters of the North Sea, adrift and in the main shipping lanes. Suddenly, it’s real adventure and only their sailing skills can help them now.

I really like this book but you have to be a fan of boats and read carefully to understand but other than that it's really good. 4/5

This book is an amazing tale boating. My favourite characters are The swallows (John, Susan, Titty and Roger).

I love the whole series of these books. My favourite character was Sinbad the rescued kitten.

I liked this book but I think that all the circumstances were very unlikely.
