one from my own personal amelia bloomer project list–
during an eye-opening move to her family’s slave-run plantation in jamaica, nancy finds out her family has betrothed her to a creepy brazilian more than twice her age. hoping to instead marry her childhood sweetheart, she and minerva, her slave/best friend join a band of borderline well-behaved pirates for a swashbuckling adventure on the high seas, with the creepy brazilian hot on the trail.
you don’t run across adventure books of this caliber for teen girls very often. i love this book and everything it stands for. 5 stars!
