A.S. King
Saffron Adams is a modern day teenager. She is also Emer Morrisey, a feared 17th century teen pirate. At the tragic end of her pirate life, she is cursed to live the live of 100 dogs (with all her memories intact and retained) before being born again in a human form. As Saffron, she has one purpose: retrieve her treasure. King does an excellent job telling both stories (Saffron and Emer) making them both engaging. We do not ever pine for the other story, but are content (even enthralled) by the life we are reading about presently. And as a bonus, we get occassional life lessons from Emer/Saffron's time as a dog. Well thought out, well executed. A great pirate novel.
