The Lost Prince
by Matt Myklusch
When thirteen-year-old Dean Seaborne runs afoul of the Pirate King, he is given one last chance to redeem himself before he gets thrown to the sharks. His mission? Find and steal the treasure of Zenhala, a mysterious island where gold grows on trees.
Dean infiltrates the island posing as its legendary lost prince, but the longer he stays in Zenhala, the more he questions his mission - and himself. Forced to undergo intense and fantastical trials to prove his royal lineage, Dean can't help but wonder if he really is the lost prince he's pretending to be. But with sea serpents, assassins, and danger on all sides, he might not live long enough to find out.*
This was an amazing book. Very well thought out and well written. It was funny and exciting and scary all at the same time. I was often tempted to skip ahead to make sure Dean make it out of several scrapes.
I would highly recommend this book. I found myself being able to connect to the characters and understand why they made the decisions they did. There was a twist at the end that was unexpected and that what I like to look for in a book.
