Book Clubs
My current book club book is The Voyage of the Frog and the character who I would personally like to meet is David Alspeth, who is fourteen years old. This is because he was about to go on a voyage out to sea and couldn't stop thinking about his Uncle Owen who had recently passed away. His Uncle's wish to him was to take his ashes out to sea on the Frog, (name of the boat) and leave his ashes in the water where they could not see any land and be alone. I would ask him if he thought the boat had any powers that his Uncle Owen could power to help him accomplish this wish. David wouldn't let him down and wouldn't let anything get in his way. Another reason I would like to meet David is because since now the Frog was destroyed from the storm after he dropped the ashes in the sea, if he survives, which I predict he will, I would ask him how he dealt with the sea and not being anywhere near land. Also how his food was almost gone and was running out of fresh water after it was under water for hours. I think that would be interesting. David stands out to me because he has a lot of courage that he'll be going out to sea to accomplish his Uncle's wish on his own and that he won't let anything stop him. He is really brave since he didn't complain at all that he had to go out to sea on his own to dump the ashes, but he kept his respect and did what his Uncle Owen asked him since David would do anything that he would ask him to do.
