The Pirate Captain's Daughter

The book"The Pirate Captain's Daughter" was pretty good.The book is about "Catherine".A girl of fifteen who lives a sheltered life with her Mother.She has a secret though,her Father is a pirate Captain.Anyway the book goes on about how she knows he is a pirate and how he thinks that her and her Mother do not.Then when "Catherine's" Mother dies she talks her Father into letting her join the crew.Where she finds danger with two evil men and causes danger too.She has to hide her secret identity of being a girl.Because she and her Father could be killed or worse.The book kept my attention and did not make me bored,something was always happening.The book will not be one of my favorites but it was a good book.

Steel

I just read the book "Steel".The book was about "Jill" a fencer who loses her last tournament by a second and cannot get it out of her head.She starts to queston herself and her ability to fence.Then she finds a piece of a rapier and is sent back in time to be stranded on a pirate ship,where she learns how to trust,endure pain,and sword fight.She befriends the crew and learns allot more about herself and how to appreciate what she has.She also has to defeat a evil pirate and find a way back home.The description of the book makes it sound really stupid but I liked it allot.The book was one that I could relate too and was completely original.I adored it.
