The 39 Clues: Storm Warning #9
I am now reading Storm Warning, which is number nine in the 39 Clues series. I think it is my favorite book in the series thus far. I think it is my favorite book because it is more interesting to me because it is about pirates. I really, REALLY like to read about pirates and watch movies about them. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, even though, I know that most students do not particularly like it. The book focuses on the female pirate, Anne Bonny, who dressed and fought like a man. She wore men's clothing and was a better fighter than most of the men pirates she worked with. She is famous for being one of the few women pirates; there are only two that I know of and the other one's name was Mary Reed. Anne Bonny is also famous for her link to the famous pirate, "Calico Jack" Rackam. In the book, Amy and Dan Cahill go the Carribean; specifically the Bahamas & Jamaica. Incidentally, I would LOVE to go there! I would like to visit to go to the beach, but I would also like to visit to experience the rich history of the area. Jamaica, especially, Port Royal, was the pirate capitol. Most of the famous pirates in history docked there and visited the taverns, but also they traded their goods and cashed in their loot. Sadly, Port Royal no longer exists. It was sunk sometime in the 1700's by both an earthquake and a tsunami. Amy and Dan are traveling with Nelly, their aupair; who is their babsitter or nanny. In the Bahamas, while exploring a cave, a gold chain with a bear claw attached to it. They know that is a clue somehow, but they do not know how it is linked to the clue hunt. They only know that the bear claw is the symbol of the Tomas clan. There are four main Cahill clans: The Ekaterinas, The Tomas, The Janus, and lastly The Lucians. There is also a secret clan, called the Madrigals; all of the other clans are afraid of them. I am on chapter 8 and Amy and Dan are headed back to Kingston, Jamaica to search for more clues; however they are unaware that Isabel, Ian, and Natalie Kabra are on their trail. Isabel is deadly, and would like nothing better than to kill Amy & Dan once and for all.
