Easy read as it is geared toward YA. Whole doesn't have daydreams of pirates. Just grab this one and settle in for a fun read.Disclaimer: I got this book in the Librarything Early Reviewers. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Abandoned as an infant, 15-year-old Bonnie Hartwright doesn't know who she really is. And that just might get her killed. After her latest scrape with the law, foster girl Bonnie is abruptly carted off to a "reform sailing camp" on the Carolina coast. There, she discovers the camp is actually a training compound of a centuries-old secret society, all of whose members are descendants of a notorious pirate. The famous female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read are important in this book, including their lover Calico Jack Rackham.Bonnie and her fellow teen internees, all denizens of the digital age, must now master the old ways of sword and sail as they prepare to battle a mysterious, unnamed enemy. During weeks of training, Bonnie finds herself drawn to both Wilder, a charismatic thief, and Reed, the grandson of the group's leader, a boy who carries the weight of a family legacy on his shoulders. But a secret is being withheld from Bonnie, one that could end up proving lethal. Before it's too late, she must uncover the truth about herself or face certain death in a watery grave. Let me be clear, I am probably not in the group that is supposed to read this book, it's for teenagers and I am far from that :). But I really liked it, good smooth writing, I liked the pace in the book. I really liked the idea of a group of kids who are trained for something I can't imagine. And I liked that the authors used the story of female pirates for this story. It ended with a dliffhanger, when is the next one coming? Disclaimer: I got this book in the Librarything Early Reviewers. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. What's not to love about this book? Bonnie is a teen who just can't seem to stop getting in trouble, and it seems she doesn't want to. After she stands up to a group of bullies in an unconventional and illegal way, she finds herself being sent to an unusual location where she meets others who seem to be of the same ilk as she is.From here the adventures keep coming. Every time I say it's time to put the book down, something else happens or another irresistible character is introduced, and I'm forced to keep reading. If you love stories where a wayward, troublesome character finds both their way and their purpose, you'll love this book. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The Brigands of the Compass Rose is a swashbuckling teen fantasy adventure. Bonnie is a tough teen girl in trouble with the law (again!) when punishment turns into magic, mystery, and pirate adventure. Characters are well-rounded and realistic, the plot has subdtance, and the book is an engaging read.I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily submitting a review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I think I'm a little older than the target demographic and although I did still have fun with this, I think teen me would have loved it even more. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and the little insights we got into corsair history. Overall, a fun read! ( )
