Despite its low page count, I couldn't even finish this. The main character doesn't feel remotely believable and neither does anyone else; its like a gang of zombies without interest, motivation or personality. Setting is vague and unclear, plot is thin and inane, and I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews on here before I wasted my mental energy on this. ( )

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 (definitely not 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. ( )
