This book is wonderful. A whimsical pirate story about a young girl coming into her own. Innocence awakening into cunning and strength, yet still retaining that core of good and deep moral code that makes for a modern day pirate hero.
The art is a perfect match for the sweet and sassy story with its doll like depictions of characters.
I have to say I am a big fan of female heroes and Polly is a wonderful example. She embodies all the best qualities that I look for in heroes yet still gets to be a pirate. Talk about sugar and spice.
Rating
I highly recommend this book. It’s a quick read with stellar graphics and engaging story.
