NOVEL
Captain Drake is still
after Dessa, Topper, and Fisk. He even reluctantly consults a Tarot Card Reader
(who looks suspiciously familiar), but little does he know that the three
thieves have taken to the sea. They are on a smugglers ship and when they are
taken by pirates Dessa’s map is taken, the one thing that she believes could
lead to her kidnapped brother.
Its official, I have
given up on this series for elementary school. It’s a great read, but its growing
more complex and serious than the fun of the first three books, a bit too much
for elementary. At least in my demographic the tarot card reading component
could result in some serious parent drama. I think this series is worth a try
with middle schooler as it remains fairly wholesome (no romance, no swearing)
while evolving into more complexity as the series progresses.
