Return To Parrot Island

by Tanith Lee

Published 16 February 2006

Art Blastside in her second daring adventure upon the high seas in search of missing treasure - and into the greatest sea battle of all time. Having escaped the dreary Angels Academy for Young Maidens, 17-year-old Artemesia Blastside has rediscovered her mother's old friends and welded them into a formidable, motley crew of pirates. After successfully leading them through the haunts of highwaymen, pirates and smugglers in the treasure hunt of all time, Art has won her mother's crown as the famous PIRATICA. She is now the most admired pirate in England. And England is in the grip of piratomania. But treasure snatched from her grasp still beckons from Parrot Island - and so it's time to lead the next high-sea adventure and try to reclaim what was almost hers. At her side is the gorgeous Felix Phoenix; and in her way, across war-torn seas, is the dastardly and monstrous Little Goldie Girl. And on the horizon is the greatest sea battle of all time ...

Piratica

by Tanith Lee

Published 12 August 2004

Trapped in the dreary Angels Academy for Young Maidens by her tyrant father, 17-year-old Artemesia Blastside (Art to her friends) dreams of the seafaring life she once led with her mother, a notorious pirate, killed six years before by an untimely cannonblast. Unaware that her memories of glamorous characters and high adventure are not what they seem, she seizes her chance to escape. Now she's off in search of her mother's old crew, her heart set on the High Seas, the Blue Indies of the Caribbean, and on treasure Beyond the Dreams of Avarice. Careering through the haunts of highwaymen, pirates and smugglers Art sweeps a motley and unwilling crew into the treasure hunt of all time, and does her best to win her mother's crown as the feared and famous PIRATICA.

The Family Sea

by Tanith Lee

Published 6 September 2007

Art Blastside in her third daring adventure upon the high seas. It's been eighteen months since Art's baby was born: a pretty child called Africa, with Felix's dark hair and Art's grey eyes. Now Art, who dreamed of being like her own loving, wonderful Ma, must face up to the fact that she has absolutely no warm feeling for her child. In fact - Art can't stand her! What's wrong with her? Beyond the family lies an unsettled world too. The French are still waging war, and England has fallen out of love with pirates. Piratomania has been suppressed by the government and Art and Felix are evicted from their cliff-top mansion. The return of Ebad and the new and improved Unwelcome Stranger prompts Art to regroup her ragtag crew and sail once again across the oceans, through wild weather, bizarre places and riotous sea battles, to return to the Treasured Isle and learn the ultimate true secret behind the treasure and the mystery of why Art can't love her child.
