A High Wind in JamaicaA High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A cheerful book. Imaginatively written and contrived. A grand adventure and tall tale about pirates and kidnapped children. Very rich and astute. A survival tale on the high seas of children living among pirates and the high jinks/antics aboard a pirate vessel. A testament on Captain Jonsen, a real-life pirate whose life on the high seas is noteworthy. Only that the book ends in a bittersweet breakup of a bond among children and pirates is what makes it everlasting. A truly remarkable tale and crafty book.
