Spring '09 Kids List

“This creative and sparkling original tale is absolutely gripping, beginning in the 17th century and spans 300 years of the life of famous pirate Emer Morrisey. Oh yeah, did I mention that the 300 years, that is how long it took Emer to live the lives of 100 dogs, a curse put upon her after her human existence was slain? A Very cool story.”
— Rob Dougherty, Clinton Book Shop, Clinton, NJ

A Spring 2009 Children's Indie Next List Pick for Teens

In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with "the dust of one hundred dogs," dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.

Now she's a contemporary American teenager and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.

Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. I'd follow Saffron into the briny deep.
--Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod A non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist. Deliciously fresh and starkly unforgettable. --Lisa McMann,
