Ratings and reviews

This is a nice story but there are way too many adjectives. Also it tells you who this man is with a chapter and every time he is mentioned in the story there is another chapter saying who he is. It is so annoying. I ended up reading the last page accidentaly and knew exactly what was going to happen inbetween.:-( Oh and it ends up that the father died. :O

Kelsey, (voice of bell) must go to live at Bording school while her father (voice of jackman) Goes off to war.

I liked how Captain Crewe's loved his daughter and I also liked it when Sara said funny things.
