Much superior to the first book, this book finds Fin and her crew attempting a foolhardy rescue in the foreign waters of the Barbary pirates in exchange for clean records. I found myself researching more about topics the book introduced because they were new and interesting. Although some of the battle scenes are totally overwritten, it seems the author has found his voice this time around, and the themes should provide plenty of book club discussion. Wow! What a great book and a fitting end to the amazing tale of Fin Button! Peterson's follow up book to "Fiddler's Gun" keeps the read enthralled and held in suspense throughout with harrowing tales of escape and pursuit, yet he is always unpredictable. The 2-book series is set during the period of the American Revolution and Fin finds herself swept into the enormous tides of history just as she is swept into the enormous tides of her own passion and thirst for adventure. An exciting story of mistakes, betrayal, loyalty and redemption. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a great story full of adventure and the unexpected.
What do You think about Fiddler's Green (2010)?
I can't really recommend this series but it wasnt terrible either.

Predictable in a less fun way than the first one was...

This looks like it will be a great book to read.
