Chrissie Warren, a 13-year-old girl in colonial Virginia, is used to her sailor father's coming and going. But after his latest voyage he doesn't come back, and Chrissie realizes he's been captured by pirates. Disguised as a boy, she signs onto a merchant ship and embarks on a dangerous mission to find and rescue him. Aboard ship she's befriended by gruff Charlie Stickle and the young and unexpectedly educated Jack Farmer. Both just want to help "the new boy" learn the ropes. With their aid she survives pirate attacks and a naval press gang before tracking the pirates to their lair. There she faces the lethal pirate captain Davey Leech. To rescue her father, she'll have to survive a deadly showdown. "Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter" is the debut novel of John Baur, co-creator of International Talk Like a Pirate Day."If you like pirate yarns, adventure tales, wry humor, or just books, chart a swift course for "Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter." Talk Like a Pirate Day founder and renowned pirate scribe John Baur's first stab at young-adult fiction features top-notch characterization, breathtaking battle scenes, and as much plot as your favorite Rafael Sabatini and Hunger Games novels--combined. What's more, Baur layers in maritime verisimilitude as well as anyone since Patrick O'Brian. You will taste the salt air. You will feel the four-pound cannonballs whistling past. You will not be able to wait to set sail with Chrissie Warren and her crew again."Keith Thompson, New York Times bestselling author of "Once a Spy" and "Pirates of Pensacola" Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
