Tell No Tales: Pirates of the Southern Seas by Sam Maggs, illustrated by Kendra Wells, 160 pages.
Anne Bonny and her crew of sirens probably have the most fun pirate ship on the seven seas. But the night after an unsettling dream their taking of a ship is thwarted by Woods Rodgers, zealot pirate hunter (who may have powers from the devil). Following another unsettling dream, but this one prophetic and specific, the crew has to go on a quest to find a symbolic item for each crew member.
So this was a fun pirate fantasy, but I can't help but feel like it would have been a stronger book if it embraced the fact that it was pirate fantasy instead of masquerading as historical fiction.
