Terrible Times by Philip Ardagh, Book Review by Michael

I liked this book because it was hilarious and filled with comedy. It's funny because his family is messed up and his aunt keeps hurting his uncle. I also liked this book because it shows you how hard it was for people on ships back then.

I chose this book because it had to do a book report and a friend recommended it.

Young Eddie Dickenson is told he must go to America to see what happened to the Terrible Times, his family's newspaper. Along the way he is accompanied by his messed up family. While on a ship with criminals, he must keep the captain's diamond safe.
