Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin

When I first read the description for this book, I didn't think I'd like it. But I loved Elsewhere, Gabrielle Zevin's first book, so I decided to check it out. I was in a Meg Cabot-like book mood at that time, so it sat on my floor for weeks until one night I was so bored I decided to read it. And, boy, was that a mistake, because I couldn't put it down. I should have known that the book would be that good. It wasn't even so much the plot that drew me in, it was the strength of Zevin's writing that made me relate to her characters, understand them, even though I was nothing like them. When I finished the book, I knew that I wasn't in love with the story, but that it was some of the best writing that I had ever read. This book is an amazing example of the Young Adult genre.>

Pirates by Celia Rees

Loosely based on the lives of female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, Pirates! takes place in the 1720s at the end of the height of piracy. Nancy Kington, having just inherited her father's sugar plantation in Jamaica, escapes an arranged marriage to Barthalome the Brazilian on the pirate ship Deliverance. Along with Nancy comes Minerva Sharpe, escaping slavery and the plantation's cruel overseer. The companions go on the account alongside the rest of the crew, dressing as men. Nancy cannot escape the man she was promised to marry, however, and he appears in her dreams. Will the Brazilian find Nancy? Or will her childhood sweatheart, William? Can Nancy and Minerva live for long as pirates?

I would recommend any of Celia Rees' books. Pirates!, Witch Child and Sorceress were all exciting, fun and easy to read. This one was definately my favorite, however. Pirates! is a real page-turner, full of action, suspence and romance.
