I don't want to be to generous with my ratings this early in the game! Ha ha! But, I really did enjoy this book. I always say I am not in to historical fiction...Then I like it! I have actually not read a pirate historical fiction before. The characters are engaging and Ms. Verrico has away of making you feel what she wants you to feel about them, almost passionately. (even when it is just a goat!) I am beginning to see a trend in the Mark Twain's I have read thus far...Students learning about how to survive this world by being mentored by the ones the respect.
What makes this book historical fiction? How is it different from from other pirate books you have read? Could you write a historical fiction piece? What time would it be from? What would you need to research to create that believable and historically accurate feel?
