Third
book about Hannah Pritchard. Having
escaped a prison ship, Hannah, Daniel, and Dobbs return to Portsmouth and set
sail for South Carolina to recover the treasure they had previously buried
while avoiding a pirate. Grades 3-7 The previous two books are summarized in
the introduction to this new adventure.
A great feature for readers who are new to the series of
adventures. Here Hannah, Daniel and
Dobbs return to Portsmouth to repair and outfit the Hannah. They have run-ins with Captain Cutter of the
Sea Serpent, who turns out to be a real pirate, preying on both the British and
American ships.
Running guns to the militia in South Carolina, the crew of the Hannah have to avoid both the British and Captain Cutter. With a multitude of ploys and tactics they succeed. Hannah has been the behind the scenes leader and is finally revealed to the crew as a woman. She is elected Captain as they head home for Portsmouth.
This well written, action packed historical adventure will attract readers. The descriptions are well drawn making the action, locales and people seem very real. Readers who have followed Hannah from the beginning will not be disappointed in the third installment. Historical Fiction Adventures(Enslow) Joan Theal
