A review by alissabar
Alex and the Ironic Gentleman by Adrienne Kress

3.0

This was a fun adventure story about an orphan girl who sets out to help her 6th grade teacher who has been kidnapped by pirates. She meets some really interesting people/monsters/machines/animals along the way including some nasty, ruthless old ladies who are part of the Daughters of the Founding Fathers' Preservation Society. I liked Kress's writing style. It wasn't a page-turner for me, but kids will enjoy this one.
