Teacher Review ... fun to read, but ....

lacked the excitment and adventure that I was hoping for. Being a teacher of fourth grade, I was excited to find a book about a young FEMALE Pirate Captain. I read it hoping to read it aloud to my class. There were abundant opportunities for adventure and excitement that just weren't brought to fruition. It was an easy read (even for 9-12 year olds), entertaining, and funny at times, but not a book I'd read aloud. I will do a Book Talk on it to my class and hope that students will chose to read it independently. The young captian is brave and decisive ... and as I said ... a girl! (It is very difficult to find a book with a strong female character.) I'll keep looking for that fiction pirate book to read-aloud ... and if it has a female lead -- all the better.
