Return To Parrot Island by Tanith Lee

Return To Parrot Island by Tanith Lee

Art Blastside in her second daring adventure upon the high seas in search of missing treasure - and into the greatest sea battle of all time. Having escaped the dreary Angels Academy for Young Maidens, 17-year-old Artemesia Blastside has rediscovered her mother's old friends and welded them into a formidable, motley crew of pirates. After successfully leading them through the haunts of highwaymen, pirates and smugglers in the treasure hunt of all time, Art has won her mother's crown as the famous PIRATICA. She is now the most admired pirate in England. And England is in the grip of piratomania. But treasure snatched from her grasp still beckons from Parrot Island - and so it's time to lead the next high-sea adventure and try to reclaim what was almost hers. At her side is the gorgeous Felix Phoenix; and in her way, across war-torn seas, is the dastardly and monstrous Little Goldie Girl. And on the horizon is the greatest sea battle of all time ...

'.. a great adventure ... the language is highly imaginative ... Adults and children alike can become immersed in this complex, distincitve and vividly depicted creation.' Reviews PIRATICA: On recent evidence, pirate stories look like being the next big thing. If so, may they all be as much fun as this one, by the Cat's Elbows! Jan Mark, The Guardian A glorious roustabout of a tale, full of yummy set pieces and terrific adventures, unbelievable in a most satisfying way. The language is rip-roaring or glides like a seagull, as needed. And the thrilling denouement is romantic as heck. Kirkus Review: Starred a rollicking read. Road adventure, sea voyage and treasure hunt in one. Irish Times ... a wonderfully rumbustious fantasy that is as clever as it is entertaining. The Independent Tanith Lee restores one's faith in fiction as the expression of imagination and original thought.
