Katie and the Salty Cinders

By Julia Jean

Katie is a spirited young girl with a mysterious past--she was born at sea aboard a magical pirate ship called The Ember Star and was once part of a secret crew known as the Salty Cinders. After a stormy night carries her to shore as a baby, she's raised by a loving family who have no idea of her pirate origins. Katie often tells fantastical stories about her pirate life, but her siblings think they're just pretend. Still, she yearns for the sea and her true pirate home. One day, a magical flying ship appears, and a parrot from her old crew invites her back. To everyone's surprise, Katie's stories are real. Instead of choosing between her pirate life and her family, Katie brings her siblings aboard, and together they begin a new kind of adventure--one that blends family and fantasy. Katie remains a pirate at heart, forever part of the Salty Cinders and her land-bound family. Theme: Belonging, imagination, identity, and the magic of storytelling.
