Raider's Ransom, by Emily DiamandJuvenile, 2008
fantasticfiction.co.uk: Lilly Melkun is out fishing with her sea-cat when the bloodthirsty Reavers come raiding and steal the Prime Minister's daughter. Her village blamed, Lilly decides to find the girl. Off she sails in secret with a ransom - an extraordinary talking jewel. But nothing can prepare her for what happens next...
Trackgeek: I enjoyed the overall premise of the book. While sometimes post-apocalyptic stories seem way to far-fetched (only the kids survive or that sort of thing). I liked the simple aspects of the story, that even kids can grasp. One small critique- sometimes the transitions between the two character's viewpoint's can be confusing. But overall a fun read. Definitely sets you up for a sequel.
Grade: B
