"Find my treasure!"

Jess accepts the challenge with just nine hours left before she leaves Ireland forever. But with a Shadow Cat assassin on her trail and her prankster brother

on the loose, can she complete the pirate's quest?

The first Timewalker Journey is about to begin . . .

Thirteen-year-old Jessica Ross is haunted by strange dreams of a mysterious figure... dreams that cross over into her waking life. Grace O'Malley, a real-life, sixteenth-century pirate queen--a ghost queen--challenges Jess to find her treasure.

Before Jess understands how, she finds herself traveling through time, witness to the pirate queen's incredible sea and land battles, plots and intrigue, a secret wedding, and the treachery of O'Malley's arch-enemy, Clan Mannix.

Jess's powers grow as she realizes she is part of a secret society of Timewalkers with legends and intrigue of their own. Even as she tries to solve the riddle and find O'Malley's treasure, Jess is tested by a puzzle box, hounded by a thief and chased by a spectral assassin, the Shadow Cat.

Between rescuing her brother Jake and working for the mystical book-keeper Selma, how will Jess succeed with just nine hours left?

"Funny, fast-paced and hip. The Pirate Queen is a gripping blend of fantasy and history, packed with believable characters and cutting-edge action scenes. A must-read."
