The Wreckers, The Smugglers, The Buccheners

Iain Lawrence

I could not put these books down.  One I finished in a day, it was so gripping.  A bit gruesome, mysterious and plenty of adventure.  Charlotte read the first two but admitted to me that they were more grisly than she expected (there's a description of a drowning that particularly bothered her).  Taking place in the 19th century along the English coast, they're a treat for readers who like historical fiction a little on the dark side.  (Maybe for older YA readers).
