Young Fidelia, is an inventor and the daughter of well-known marine scientists. She loses both parents in a submarine accident and is then kidnapped by a pirate, Merrick the Monstrous, and tasked to find his lost treasure. Will she be able to locate the treasure before it's too late?

The young heroine, Fidelia Quail, was a spunky and intelligent scientist. That almost never happens. How refreshing!

There was a heavy marine biology and science focus, which was great for me. In addition, there were plenty of pirates, chocolate, and even some clever twists from a YA perspective.

Overall, a deep and intellectual female YA lead. I am all on board. We need more Fidelias in a world full of Bellas...

Will read and write soon!
