ABOUT THIS BOOK 1779. On tumultuous waters a girl is born as pirates board the ship . . . Jiddy Vardy is a survivor. Rescued at birth, she grows up in Robin Hood’s Bay, a community which harbours a dangerous secret, one that could get you killed. Always the outsider, with her dark skin and hair, at sixteen Jiddy is clever, brave and headstrong, soon risking her life and freedom to play her part in the Bay’s clandestine activities. Then, just as romance blossoms and Jiddy finally feels like she belongs, figures from the past threaten to tear her world apart, and she has to decide where her loyalties truly lie. A thrilling tale of one girl’s search for identity and love, set against a backdrop of wild seas, smuggling and violence. MY REVIEW Instantly thrown into the action, JIDDY VARDY by Ruth Estevez is a compelling story set during the Eighteenth Century that will set your heart racing with danger and adventure. From the day she was born, Jiddy Vardy, has been a survivor, growing a tough skin in order to survive amongst the others in Robin Hood's Bay, but she has never really belonged with them. She has never really belonged anywhere. But as young love begins to heal the hurts of the past, Jiddy will find herself the focus of danger as secrets come bubbling up to the surface ... I really enjoyed this historical, young adult tale of love, strength, and the quest to discover who you really are. Jiddy is a very likeable character who shows real grit and determination in her life and I wanted her to find the right person and path to follow in her life. The middle part of the story is a little slower in pace than the beginning and end, but as this is to build an image of the world that Jiddy inhabits, it makes sense. JIDDY VARDY by Ruth Estevez is perfect for historical fiction fans, YA fans, and for anyone who just enjoys an adventure story with a little romance, and is definitely worth a read.
