About the book:
After her mother’s death, 15-year-old Catherine is determined not to be shipped off to her aunt in Boston. When she discovers her father’s secret life as a pirate captain, she dons boy’s clothing and convinces her father to take her along with him on his impeding three-month voyage.
Under the name Charlie and under the guise of being her father’s son, Catherine realises that life on a pirate ship is not as romantic and glamorous as she had imagined.
Slightly different to the usual swashbuckling adventures usually found in pirate books, the books frequently dark tone is effective in keeping with a more realistic portrayal of piracy.
