★★★★★ "Well-written, fast-paced, historically accurate, with a great story, wonderful characters, and an overall theme and message that lingers. Suitable for all ages. I have recommended it to adults (in their 40s and 50s) and they love it. Even 'modern' kids do/will. I cannot recommend it highly enough."—Goodreads Review

★★★★★ "This was one of my favorite books of childhood—a swashbuckling coming-of-age story with indelible characters. This is a masterful tale, and it is a shame it is not well-known. I highly recommend it."—Reader Review
