Captain Jenny & the Sea of Wonders — Duncan Thornton

Jenny helped Tom take his Kalifax voyage, but she's always wanted to captain a ship and have an adventure of her own. Then an otter with a golden collar pops up beside her little boat. He was sent by the Maid of Salt Waters to tell her of her quest for the Lost City, sunk beneath the waves in the Sea of Wonders Found and Forgotten. What follows is a journey fit for Ulysses, complete with tropical isles, magical creatures, and the ever-present dangers of the sea. Jenny must fight for herself every step of the way: fight to understand the impudent otter messenger, fight for the respect of her crew, fight the sea pirate Corsairs who would capture and enslave them all. Can she overcome all obstacles and reach the sunken city as it rises to the surface for the first time in 100 years? Can she prevent it from once again slipping beneath the waves? Should she?

With the bravest girl hero in Canadian literature, Duncan Thornton's trademark love of language and a sheaf of stunning new Yves Noblet illustrations, Captain Jenny weaves a magical tale to thrill and delight - when it isn't making your hair stand on end in sheer wonder!
