Terry and the Pirates

Terry and the Pirates

by Julian F. Thompson (I think that's his name)

Guest review by Shelby

This book is about Theresa Talley (Terry or Tee to her friends) whose parents want her to go to boarding school? So, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She goes on a trip of "self discovery" (i.e. she runs away). Terry stows away on local millionaire Maitland Crane's boat. But someone else had the same plan. She wakes up to a naked boy with split personalities (don't worry they're both really nice): the millionaire's son.
Then there's like a hurricaine or something, and Terry is suddenly alone on the Cormorant(the boat). But lucky her, Short Bill Gold and his wee mates Cherry and Buddy are there to rescue her. Yeah okay, rescue her.
I thought this was a good book (although I found a couple grammatical mistakes in it). Terry is a cool girl, neither teenagery nor self-conscious (definitelynot self conscious). In the end she has grown up, but I thought she was quite mature anyway. The pirates were funny, but lousy pirates. Anyway I reccomend reading this book. It's quick and humorous... very fun. yay.
