This is fantastic remix to the classic adventure novel, Treasure Island. Two souls from different walks of life cross paths and begin their own adventure searching for the allusive treasure of the mysterious pirate “Head of the Dragon”, leader of the legendary Dragon Fleet. Xiang is a rambunctious girl trapped in a quiet ‘safe’ village away from her shrewd businesswoman mother. Anh is a ‘do what you must to survive’ free spirit. When these two join forces, nothing will stop them…well… almost nothing. “…the girls soon find that the sea—and especially those who sail it—are far more dangerous than the legends led them to believe.”
I loved that the author included a pronunciation guide at the back of this book! The twists and turns of this adventure story had me turning the pages, and just when I thought I knew how it would end, a double twist left me speechless! Having strong female leads in this YA adventure gives readers an excellent example of how girls/women can be adventurous in the face of adversity!
