Cast Off: The Strange Adventures of Petra De Winter and Bram Broen

(3) 4-6 This seventeenth-century seafaring adventure unites Petra and Bram, a wealthy merchant's daughter and a mixed-race carpenter's son, and thrusts them into a mutinous crew of sailors. Through alternating points of view, Yohalem unfurls a thrilling and meticulously researched adventure. Her facts never outweigh her fiction, and both Petra and Bram are kids with compelling, and sometimes heartbreaking, family stories.
