Winner of the Canadian Authors Association 2010 Emerging Writer Award and a 2010 BC Book Prize Finalist!

The Ship of Lost Souls

A rollicking tale of pirates and treasure, friendship and fun, and a crew of swashbuckling children you won’t soon forget! The Ship of Lost Souls was a 2010 BC Book Prize finalist, named one of the Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Best Books for Children of 2010, and is a current finalist for the 2011 Chocolate Lily Awards.

First-time novelist Delaney reaches into some of the most classic themes and adventures to create a perfect and exciting parable for modern times. The New World islands depicted are at once familiar and otherworldly, her take on piracy as a foil for plundering colonial powers is brilliant, and her placing of children in charge of their own destiny amid a lawless society is highly appealing to pre-teens.”
