A High Wind In Jamaica, by Richard Hughes: 4/5

Book Review, posted on September 13, 2010 by Audrey

Click for full size!

Children, accidentally kidnapped by pirates, take to piracy rather well. 4 stars. A High Wind in Jamaica. Richard Hughes. Best Thing: Swashbuckling! Good historical fiction with plenty of pirates and colonialism. Worst Thing: Children as conscienceless monsters. I mean, toddlers? Sure. But ten-year-olds? That's a little unbelievable.

This book review was posted in Adult & General Fiction, Adventure, Historical Fiction and given a book rating of 4/5. Bookmark the permalink.
