One Girl One Dream Review: Amazing and Inspirational - Review of "One Girl One Dream" by Laura Dekker. This book is an autobiography chronicling the author's solo sail around the world between the ages of 14 and 16. It was originally written in Dutch and translated to English. The book goes somewhat into Laura's history as she born on a boat in New Zealand during her parent's 7 year sailing voyage of the world. It also chronicles in a chapter the Dutch authorities attempts to stop her and take her from her parents. The book is very detailed about the sailing and some terminology may require being looked up. It is also somewhat like a diary with brief descriptions of her many stops on different islands and the friends she makes while sailing and at the many ports. The way she feels and grows during her 2 years at sea make for very fast reading. This girl's story is inspirational and amazing. A great read 5/5 Stars Review: Exciting story that shows that youth is not always wasted on the young. Have your teens read it! - I watched the documentary “Maidentrip”, I thought was intriguing but not particularly well made; it prompted me to read her book seeking the rest of the story. As it often is, it was much, much better than the movie. Laura’s trip is an amazing enterprise, it show everything that is good about entrepreneurial spirits. The narrative is simple, at the beginning a bit too technical about the sailing vocabulary, soon after acquiring the language the book becomes a smooth fun and entertaining reading. The book includes drawings and schematics as appendices depicting the boat that makes easier to follow Laura’s description. Regardless of ghost writing, this is a great story that I wish more teens would read. Laura shows that there are those rare exceptions in life were the quote: “Youth is wasted on the young” does not apply. She concludes by saying that her trip was as much an oceans of the world journey as it was a journey to change herself, to make her aware of who she is and what she wants her life to be. Reading it makes you want to drop whatever you are doing and go sailing to exciting places. I just hope her spirit remains undaunted throughout her life, and chooses to contribute her enormous leadership potential to the world in endeavours other than sailing; perhaps by becoming a global advocate for causes around environmental protection of the oceans. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #955,300 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,439 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies #5,464 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 556 Reviews | ## Images ![One Girl One Dream - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mSoIUJkjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and Inspirational *by B***C on January 7, 2016* Review of "One Girl One Dream" by Laura Dekker.

It was none of their business!!! After reading the chronicle of her voyage you come away with a sense of her toughness and ability to endure whatever the sea threw at her. I couldn't help but contrast her non-whiny rugged attitude to endure whatever came her way with the next book I am reading about a retired couple who go cruising in a 37' sailboat with all the amenities. Laura was 14 when she started out and they were in the mid 50's. After reading Laura's book all you can think is the retired couple are whining wimps when a little storm comes their way or a few rough seas. Anyway, One Girl One Dream was a worthwhile read and you come away admiring her for her strength and sailing skills. That girl is no wimp! PS. My wife and I also went and saw the documentary film about Laura called "Maiden Trip" If you get a chance go see the film and then read with book.
