Back to the New adventure (Silverpath Publishing $14.95) is Trevor Atkins’ second historical novel for middle-grade readers and picks up two years after The Day the Pirates Went Mad (Silverpath Publishing, 2021). It’s 1704 and Queen Anne’s War is well underway. Emma Sharpe has rejoined her old shipmates only for disaster to strike. The ship New Adventure is taking muskets and powder to Bermuda when a French ship attacks. Knocked overboard in the fight, Emma awakens on a desert island with just her belt knife and the clothes on her back. She soon finds cabin boy Jack Randall is marooned with her, and the young sailors work together to find a way back to civilization. But what about the rest of their crew? Can Emma and Jack rescue them from their captors in time? Or must they get revenge instead. Trevor Atkins designs educational tabletop games and writes. He lives in Coquitlam. 9781989459041
