Beautiful illustrations. I enjoyed reading this. ( )

This was really fun and creative and completely transported me to a different world. I loved the wild main character, and how beautiful and strange this book is. I will definitely read the next one! ( )

This was cute. Definitely for a younger audience. I think if I had come across it when I was about eight or so I would have loved it. I do really enjoy the artwork though. Bastian did an awesome job there for sure. And I love the binding and cover being a leather-bound book with the art and font etched into it. It's actually what drew me to this one to begin with. ( )

This book is stunningly beautiful. The incredibly detailed and delicate black and white illustrations bring the ancient art of scrimshaw to mind, and the ragged paper edges of the hardbound copy of this book give it the feel of an historical tome.

The admirably brave and independent Cursed Pirate Girl leaves her tiny beachfront cave for the treacherous Omerta Sea on a quest to find the father who was forced to abandon her years ago. Aided by a wise parrot and two foolish water knights, the Cursed Pirate Girl laughs in the face of danger, inspires subversive action against bad and dangerous pirate captains and curries the favor of the elemental winds. But will she find her father? ( )

Very Alice in Wonderland-ish, the artwork is exceptional but overly busy for me ( )
