Starboard

Nicola Skinner's inventive, funny, surprising prose once again tells an honest story of big emotions, making Starboard the perfect follow-up to the critically acclaimed Storm.

Kirsten Bramble is too famous to have friends. Thats what she tells herself, anywaybut with the end of her hit reality TV show barreling toward her, Kirstens not sure shes ready to say goodbye to her lonely life of fame.

Luckilyor unluckilyKirsten cant help being plunged headfirst into a new adventure when shes dragged on a class trip to visit the SS Great Britain. Because somehow, the ancient ship can speak to herand she wants Kirsten to be her new captain.

The ship pulls out of the harbor with no sails and no working engine, and try as Kirsten might, she cant convince the ship to turn back until they find a way to help her finish her final quest.

Kirsten doesnt feel like a captainbut along the way, she may just realize that the ending of an adventure, while scary, can be just as special as the beginning.
