A giant cruise ship with over 1000 passengers and 500 crew, the Ocean Emerald is a floating luxury palace. But for 14-year-old Luck Barron, the cruise ship is a nightmare from the moment the ship sails. Luck has unwittingly disturbed the plans of a highly organized criminal gang, and his efforts to stop them place him firmly in the firing line.
I loved the way Luke just fell into the adventure and at the beginning was an ordinary boy and by the end had saved so many lives while making friends along the way!!! I also adore the plot twist at the end!!!
I was advised to check out Ilkka Remes in english but didn't realise that he also writes YA fiction. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable read with a likeable teen hero and plenty of Finland references.
Piraatit on juoneltaan monia Remeksen nuorten kirjoja uskottavampi. Laivakaappaus ja monet paljastuvat salaisuudet koukuttavat lukijan hyvin, vaikka loppupuoli tuottaakin pienen pettymuksen.
