Motion, Andrew

A fine contribution to the ongoing labors of a leading poet, and a good introduction to Motion’s approach for readers new to his work.

You don't have to have read Treasure Island or Silver to delight in this engaging tale, but fans of the earlier works will be especially pleased at the return of these two likable young adventurers. [See Prepub Alert, 1/25/15.]

As modern sequels to well-loved classics go, this worthy follow-up by former British poet laureate Motion has everything: a seagoing adventure with endearing heroes, barbarous pirates, venomous snakes, a loquacious parrot, and romance. Can't miss. [See Prepub Alert, 2/27/12.]
