Polly Pringle is the most well-behaved and unadventurous young lady at Mistress Lovejoy’s boarding school until she’s Shanghaied by pirates. They don’t want to hold her hostage or even put her to work . They want a captain, and they figure that the daughter of Med Malloy, the Pirate Queen has the right bloodline for the job.
There’s plenty of swashbuckling, swinging from the yardarms, pitched sea battles and treasure map hunting in this adventure to keep the story exciting, but there’s also the depiction of the setting: huge vessels that are an imaginative cross between Victorian mansions and tall sailing ships sailing to and from a port city of houseboats and wharfs, surrounded by towering cliffs. And there’s Naifeh’s vivid characters drawn in pencil and ink as sharply as in his dialog and plot.
