OLDER FICTION
Collison, Linda

Star-Crossed

(4) YA After her father dies, leaving her penniless, Patricia Kelley runs away from her British boarding school to stow away on a ship. When she is discovered, she dresses like a lady by day and a sailor by night. The convoluted plot in this eighteenth-century soap-opera adventure throws in a few too many tragedies, but readers are sure to enjoy the feisty character Collison has created.
