Have your teens read it! *by A***R on March 9, 2015* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and Inspirational *by B***C on January 7, 2016* 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not you usual travelog, or sailor surviving the big storm book. *by P***R on June 4, 2016* Very interesting book recounting 14 year old sailor Laura Dekker's trip around the world. Gives a somewhat surprising account of her family's legal battles with the Dutch school authorities, escalating to the prime minister, and a year in the courts, where she finally prevailed. The outfitting of her modified 38 foot Jeanneau cruising sailboat and her extensive sailing experience. You forget how young she is as she writes in a very straight forward somewhat technical way when describing her passages, reminiscent of some old stiff upper lip world traveler, then a few paragraphs later will sound very young, recounting a story about hiding some food on her plate that she doesn't like so as not to offend her hosts. Nice mix of seamanship beyond her years and a very personal view on her round the world travels. Not a person interested in fame or record books, a strong personality with insights way beyond her age. Great book especially for young people with some familiarity with boats. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/134314309-one-girl-one-dream-paperback-may-8-2018](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/134314309-one-girl-one-dream-paperback-may-8-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
