A Thrill of a Read

I picked up this book based on an NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) review. I read it in about four hours and enjoyed every minute of it. There was family conflict, there was a mysterious boyfriend, evil pirates and then racing for survival on a sailboat without a mainsail and limited provisions. I have recommended this book to my department chair and I'm hoping to be able to offer it to my 9th graders. I think it will be a high-interest book for even my most reluctant readers. While the narrator/main character is female, the adventures should appeal to male readers as well.
