EARLY Praise for THe Pirate's Curse
"A Rollicking high-seas adventure with surprising depth!"
“More than just a high seas adventure, The Pirate’s Curse dives into sailing, sword fighting, herbalism, the history of piracy, and even the Gullah Geechee culture of the Carolinas, all subtly developed through the teens’ complex interplay... Beyond the compelling fantasy setup, this is a deeply emotional exploration of belonging and community. ”

"A Grand Adventure not to be miSSED!"
“Toni Runkle and Steve Webb's The Pirate’s Curse: Brigands of the Compass Rose is a thrilling, emotional roller coaster of an adventure. I was hooked from the first page to the last. It’s Treasure Island meets The Outsiders in a grand adventure not to be missed.”
—Haris Orkin, award-winning author of the James Flynn Escapades
"Hop on Board and HOLD ON TIGHT!"
“Taking a wild turn from their Glitter Girl into a new dimension of teen girl power, Runkle and Webb’s new novel explodes into a world of mystery, crime, magic, family, curses, romance, and yes, piracy. From the first page to the last, a non-stop adventure of self-discovery and danger, Brigands delivers on everything it promises and more. Hop on board and Hold On Tight!”
—Douglas Green, author of A Dog of Many Names and The Teachings of Shirelle
"Sign me UP!"
“A tale of teens training to battle against a menacing supernatural threat? Sign me up! Action, adventure, and heart. Brigands has it all! This is one boat ride you’ll never forget (if you survive, that is)!”
—Kevin D. Ross, Emmy-nominated editor of Stranger Things and Yellowjackets
