Which is inconvenient. Since she's a mermaid, being brokenhearted means she'll\u0026amp;mdash;poof!\u0026amp;mdash;turn into sea-foam.But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she's ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won't let anyone stop her\u0026amp;mdash;not Blackbeard's cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who's having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can't be a pirate just because she's a girl.She may not be the best man for the job, but she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt.And don\u0026amp;rsquo;t miss the Prime Video streaming hit My Lady Jane!\u003ch2\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCynthia Hand is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of several books for teens, including the Unearthly trilogy, the contemporary novel \u003ci\u003eThe Last Time We Say Goodbye,\u003c\/i\u003e and the historical comedy My Lady Jane.
