(4) YA Wanting to "spread her wings," Terry stows away on a yacht, not expecting the owner's son, Mick, to hijack it. The fast-paced, cartoonishly exaggerated action has them weathering a storm, captured by stereotypical pirates, and, at the point of escaping, liberated by U.S. Navy paratroopers. Despite the one-note characters and overused story elements, the engaging narrative will draw readers in.
