The Riddle of the Sea Bewertungen

We loved this book. Pirates, adventure on the high seas, rescues........ The main characters are relatable, brave and caring (even the grumpy pirate). There is tension and excitement but only mildly scary. The children thought it was the best pirate book we had read for ages. -- Karen Hammond * NetGalley *
I read this book really quickly, it is really well written with an enchanting plot and well developed characters that I think children will really engage with. The illustrations were beautiful and will really help children bring their imagination even more into play. A really good book. -- Aria Harlow * NetGalley *
Lyrical and sweet...The characters. Oh how I am a sucker for a pirate...The plot. OMG YES. Scary, but not bloody. Engaging and OH those pictures!! PRETTYPRETTYPRETTY. And I will always be a sucker for a sea battle... Overall. I know I'm not the audience for this book, but I'm sure those who are will ADORE this. As it stands, it was fun, light hearted and I regret nothing. -- GG Reads * NetGalley *
