Spring is here and I have jumped into a bit of warm weather reading, pirate style... arghhh! Although this is not my normal cup of tea, I really enjoyed this adventurous read! Somper's writing style is very similar to Rick Riordan... so fans of the Lightning Thief will probably enjoy these great books as well. Two twin orphans, Connor and Grace head out to sea in order to avoid an undesirable fate. A severe storm splits them apart and Connor ends up on a vast pirate ship while Grace gets caught up in what appears to be the old vampirate ship her father sang about in an old shanty. Will the two twins ever meet up again? Will they survive the fate of the seas or be doomed to live alone? Librarian book reviews and creative ideas for tweens, teens, and fellow librarians.
