The Terror of the Southlands

The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates, Book 2

De: Caroline Carlson

Narrado por: Katherine Kellgren

"Tell me, Pirate Westfield: When was the last time you drew your sword against an enemy? Or stole a stash of loot from a fellow buccaneer? When was the last time you sailed off on a thrilling High Seas adventure?"

Hilary Westfield is a pirate. In fact, she's the Terror of the Southlands! She's daring, brave, fearless, and...in a rut. Maybe she hasn't found any treasure lately. And maybe she isn't fighting off as many scallywags as she'd like. But does that mean she and her loyal crew (including a magical gargoyle) deserve to be kicked out of the ranks of the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates?

There is only one thing to do - find a daring mission worthy of her fearless reputation. With the help of first mate Charlie, finishing-school friend Claire, and the self-proclaimed intrepid gargoyle, Hilary sets sail on a swashbuckling expedition that may or may not involve a kidnapped Enchantress, bumbling inspectors, a mysterious group called the Mutineers, and - the most terrifying thing of all - a High Society ball.

Caroline Carlson brings just as much rollicking fun, laughter, and action to this second book of the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates as she did with the first, Magic Marks the Spot.

Great story, excellent performance

This series is really fun, entertaining. The narrator is really excellent - probably the best I’ve ever heard. She really makes the story the best it can be.

Very Entertaining!!!

More piratical fun than the first one

Carlson's characters are well-wriitten & Kellgren's performance enhances each one. Don't have to be a kid to love these books!

Great book

Not sure who loved this story more?

Fun for the whole family. I found myself listening ahead after dropping my boys off at school. Apparently, so did my wife. Not sure who loved it more, me, my wife or my boys.

so fun

I love the performance. this series is so fun. little girl pirates are so fun.

Most amazing series

I have recommended this book the all of my friends, my brother and everyone else in my family. I gave it this review because the performance was very interesting. You could tell by the voice who is speaking. The book is also very interesting and I have been using it as an example for many of my actions. I recommend this book to everyone.

Love this series!

My kids love this good hearted pirate story and so do I. We will listen to them all!

Great sequel

Great swashbuckling tale for children. There was lots of foreshadowing. the narrator had wonderfully distinct voices for all the main characters, however she was very forceful during the shouting bits which was a bit too intense. wonderful performance

Delightful story!
