The Dust of 100 Dogs by A S King
The first book from LA Times Book Prize and Printz Honor winner A.S. King--a witty, snarky tale of love and family, revenge and reincarnation, and pirates. In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with the dust of one hundred dogs, dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.Now she's a contemporary American teenager and all she needs to escape her no-good family and establish a luxurious life of her own is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.
King is the author of eight critically praised young adult novels. Her novel Please Forget Vera Dietz won a Michael L. Printz Award in 2011. The Los Angeles Times Book Prize went to Printz Honor and Ask the Passengers in 2013. She was named one of the top young adult novelists writing today by the New York Times. King came to Pennsylvania with her family after more than a decade living on a farm and teaching adult literacy in Ireland.
