Hurricane Dancers: The First Caribbean Pirate Shipwreck | 
pickHF novel in verse set in 16th century. “No matter how invisible I feel, I will always be wrapped in the memory of life as a captive.” —Quebrado
Aboard Talevero‘s pirate ship, Quebrado is held captive until the hurricane thrashes it to pieces. Q escapes and is rescued by a sea turtle 🐢 and an old man in a boat (not Hemingway‘s Old Man). Talevero finds Q but now it is Q who will decide his fate.

pick#ReadingResolutions Day 26: Engle‘s books are always written with #MultipleNarrators such as this. A young man finding his way in the universe belonging to no one, not even himself, seeking his center; young lovers who are desperate to be with each other, unmindful of their family‘s disapproval; war and madness, pirates and conquerors.

A ship dancing on the waves!
pickGorgeous, simple, lyrical. How do few words can convey so much, defies convention. My third book in verse has been as magical as the first two. Unfortunate that these stories are labeled as junior fiction. So much here for everyone.
