Illustrated by
Nicole Wong.
When Lucy's half-brother Liao is snatched away, Lucy and stepmother Xiaoming must sail to the rescue. Originally self-published and here reissued with some new scenes, characters, and illustrations, Bluecrowne contains characters that intersect with other books in Milford's canon, but the author's technique of genre blending really shines with the insertion of science fiction into a nautical and family adventure.
