Book Review

The title character, Terra Vonnel is a teenage pirate. It happens, I guess. This is a fairly quick moving book, and doesn't mess around giving overly wordy details about things. Definitely an adventurous book!

Daughter S (13 year old) says: "I loved this book, but it was short. It was interesting and would like to read the rest in the series."

Book Review

This was a nice book, aimed towards young adults and teenagers. The main characters Sam and Sarah are easy to relate to and kept my interest through the entire book. I look forward to reading the next one! 

My daughter, who we will call Daughter S, is 13 years old, and also read this book. In her own words, she says: "I loved this book, I read it in two days. It could have been a little longer, though. I am a huge fan of fantasy books. I hope the 2nd book comes out soon. I even want to see the movie if one comes out.".
