This just in:

"This YA novel opens with a bang. Dynamic prose places the reader in the middle of the action. In a world of adventure and mysteries, Matey and her brother must traverse known and unknown dangers in order to find safety and a home. Nappa’s writing captures the cadence of the time. Whether a dialogue exchange, or a description of the lively historical period, Nappa makes it clear he did his homework, and his prowess with language is in full display in this genuinely fun YA novel. Piracy is familiar in children's and YA literature, and readers will find many expected tropes. These are evergreen characters, people, and stories that distill the longing to be in a world a little less domesticated. Nappa’s characters are as developed as his world building. From the Admiral to Matey, Buck and Gunther, the people that live in this world of adventure are as rich in agency as they are detailed in their motivations."

I just got back onto this page after not being able to log in for nearly two years. I had two-step code verification that kept going to a mobile phone that I no longer owned, so it's been impossible to sign in. Recently, I located the new owner of the old phone number and with that person's help, was able to get back on - today! Now, I have to figure out how to navigate two personal pages and new NIPI pages - or merge them. I'll be pondering this so give me time to figure it out. Thanks! Good to be back!
