"Lorayne has written a thoughtful take on the pirate genre, with a female-led crew focused on science and discovery. There's a strong awareness of ecology, though the text also still works as an adventure. The seamlessly incorporated haiku poems also work well, serving as an appreciable introduction to the poetic form for young readers." -Kirkus Review
