Synopsis
What if everything you knew about your father was a lie?
Andromeda "Rommy" Cavendish doesn't really have a home, unless you count the exclusive boarding school where she stays year round. With her mother dead and her father out to sea most of the time, Rommy counts down the days to her father's two visits every year - her birthday and Christmas. At the end of every school year, she hopes this will be the year her father takes her with him on his travels.
But this summer is going to be different. Rommy's going with him on his travels. He just doesn't know it yet.
As the newest and youngest member of her school's fencing team, danger is her new best friend. There's no way her father can say no.
But he never shows up for his visit.
Worried that something awful has happened, Rommy dresses as a boy and sneaks out of her school, traveling through nineteenth-century London only to find more questions than answers. To get her father back, she'll have to travel to the magical island of Neverland where heroes are villains, and her father might be the biggest villain of them all.
If you like fairy tale twists, magical adventures, and spunky heroines, you'll love Hook's Daughter: The Untold Tale of a Pirate Princess, first in the middle-grade fantasy adventure trilogy The Pirate Princess Chronicles.
