The Silver Ship and the Sea by Brenda Cooper
The Silver Ship and the Sea

This is one of those great fantasy novels adult miss because it's on the teen shelves. Great world, great characters, great themes. Don't miss it!

This book is truly disturbing, multi-leveled, and beautifully written.

These issues are relevant to all of us, but the deeper questions of the book are even more universal: do you really know the people you are closest to? What are your blind spots, and what impact do they have on your life and on your loved ones?
