Big River's Daughter

200 pp. | Holiday | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2752-9 $16.95
(3) 4-6 When River loses her pirate father after the 1811 Mississippi Valley earthquake, she joins up with African American keelboat pilot Annie Christmas. Peopled by both historical figures and tall-tale characters, this slangy-voiced yarn depends on its back matter for context, but readers may not care as they follow River's search for her Da and for Blackbeard's treasure.
