Title: Another good adventure for girls...
Review: This second young-adult pirate novel I've recently read (Bloody Jack being the first) is another wonderful foray into the action-adventure realm for girls.The book attempts in its own way to address all the social wrongs of the late 18th century - slavery, lack of female equality, classism, etc. etc. It's also full of "the moral of the story" kind of stuff, with evil never quite prospering, even in its many subplot attempts. The book mostly avoids a preachy tone, though, and brings a wonderful adventure that has just a slight supernatural background (much credence is put in dreams, here.)The characters in this book are strong, though they are in rather unbelievable positions. There is a beautiful friendship between two young girls, told from the point of view of one of them. There is love, death, greed, fear, exhiliration - everything but a sea monster - to keep the reader reeling through the story.All in all, a very fun read.
