Notes for Parents edit see section history

Reading Level: Ages 9-12

This may well be appropriate for some younger readers, but the vocabulary is challenging (i.e. hyperventilating, debris, privateers, etc.) in places. It is a hybrid-style graphic novel; that is, it has some text-only pages and some comic/graphic pages as well. The book is nominated for the Sasquatch Reading Award for readers grades 3-6th.
