Sounds interesting ... the idea of female pirates is something new to me. I wonder what Brandy will do considering her mother's curse.

Sounds like a thrilling and fun story about Brandy. How is life like being raised by pirates? Did Brandy make the right choice? I'd love to know that. Moreover, historical fiction about pirates sounds unique and interesting. I will read the book. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

An exciting introduction to Brandy, the wild daughter of pirate parents, I cannot wait to read more! The theme of the story revolves around the ship that her parents owned being captured and she was forced to watch her mother walk the plank.
I live on my own boat and the sea and pirate stories truly fascinate me, I cannot wait to read the rest of this book!

I love that the author utilized sub-headings to enable the reader keep track on the progression of the story. Also, I love that the pages made my imagination run wild, as the events were so clearly portrayed and real to life.


Good review.

I love female pirates. Historically, they were B.A., like Ching Shih, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read. Brandy in this book sounds awesome, too, as does her mother. I’ll have to make time to read it. Thank you for the helpful review.

I've reviewed a book wit grammar that's deliberately off, so I'm curious to know if you eventually decided to forego noting the errors altogether.

A book on pirates is one I've never read, and it appears to be highly intriguing and engrossing. I'd like to read on how Brandy's pirate parents brought her up. Thanks for the glowing review.

I love a good pirate-themed novel. I can't imagine that Brandy would do anything other than try to get the Red Witch back. It seems as if she is destined to live a life at sea. Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed reading your thorough review.

I really like pirate stories, and I this book looks a good read. Like for example, I almost memorize every scenario of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and this tale is a perfect book for my taste.
