( ) This is an exciting thriller, with no actual dragons or fantasy. Poly O'Keefe is fourteen; she and her brother Charles are on a ship on its way to Venezuela with their father. But the main protagonist is thirteen-year-old Simon, travelling with a previously unknown cousin, and a valuable piece of art. There's danger, intrigue, a shocking incident mid-way through the book and a great deal of suspicion. It's partly character-based, and there's a lot of interesting interaction between these people and other passengers and staff on the ship. There's quite a complex backstory and motive for what happens, and although some of that went a tad over my head, I enjoyed the book and found it hard to put down. Probably best read after 'The Arm of the Starfish', which is first in the O'Keefe series. no reviews | add a review
