Kittiwake Stormhaven and the Pirates of Portolano by Victoria Williamson

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @thewritersread for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Kittiwake Stormhaven and the Pirates of Portolano by Victoria Williamson is a young adult genre. I like the front cover; it looks fun and full of adventure. I feel young children from 7 to 13 years old will love reading this book, and they will feel like they are going on an adventure with the characters. The story is at a good pace for them to keep up with, and it’s full of action and friendship. Exciting and thrilling read: 4 stories. Victoria Williamson is a fantastic author that has written another great book. The illustrations are remarkable too. Blurb A daring mission, a sister turned pirate and a sea full of secrets… In a world of water where land is a legend, 11-year-old Kittiwake Stormhaven dreams of adventure aboard the Amazon Princess. When a vital mission takes the ship into dangerous waters, Kittiwake discovers shocking news - her long-lost sister, Petrel, is now a feared pirate queen. Kittiwake must outsmart pirates, outmanoeuvre storms and face ghostly captains to save her ship, her mischievous monkey Caboodle and her friends. But in a high-stakes showdown, family loyalty collides with survival, and Kittiwake learns the ocean hides more secrets than she ever imagined. Kittiwake Stormhaven is a fast-paced, sea-swept adventure filled with daring rescues, thrilling discoveries and the magic of friendship. Bio Victoria Williamson is an award-winning author from Glasgow, Scotland who has worked as an educator in a number of different countries, including as an English teacher in China, a secondary school science teacher in Cameroon, a teacher trainer in Malawi, and an additional support needs teacher in the UK. Victoria writes and edits books for the education company Twinkl. She spends the rest of her time writing novels for children and creepy tales for adults, and visiting schools, libraries and literary festivals to give author talks and run creative writing workshops. When not writing or talking about books, she’s often to be found up to her knees in mud on an archaeological dig or tangled up in a ball of wool playing with a crochet hook. Her favourite time of year is autumn, when mists descend on the Scottish moors and eerie stories come whispering on the wind on dark evenings.
