The Pirate's Wife: The Remarkable True Story of Sarah Kidd by Daphne
Palmer Geanacopoulos
In a work of narrative nonfiction filled with romance and high-seas adventure,
a historian and journalist charts the life of Sarah Kidd, who secretly aided
and abetted her infamous husband, pirate Captain Kidd, from within the

I found this title very interesting, with lots of twists and turns. - PP 4

The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin
One of Pushkin's most popular and chilling stories, The Queen of Spades is one
of the most famous tales in Russian literature and inspired the eponymous opera
by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It tells of a young man who develops a dangerous
obsession in pursuit of the wealth he craves.
This book was chilling, scary, and exciting. - MD 5 stars
