Hurricane Dancers: The First Caribbean Pirate Shipwreck

(2) YA Several first-person narratives converge in this verse novel of the sixteenth century. Two star-crossed lovers of Cuban legend; two historical figures, a pirate and a ruthless conquistador; and a fictional slave give readers spare pieces of one overall story. An introductory list of characters provides information not immediately apparent in their titular poems; the concluding author's note fills in historical background. Bib.
