A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes, Francine Prose

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

Really twisted and dark. Think Lord of the Flies meets pirates. This is what happens when a group of children are under-supervised by a group of pirates and as you can imagine, things do not go well. I think it’s a pretty shocking meditation on the resilience and adaptability of children. I also thought it was probing at who exactly should be held accountable in this scenario, the parents, the pirates, the children?? I think this could be applied on a larger scale.
