"There’s pirates in the West Indies. Cannibals. They cook you alive," says Mr. Spencer to his son. These words will come to haunt 17-year-old John as he embarks on his first voyage to foreign lands. Carrying cargo destined for Jamaica, John and his crew of the Dragon set off for waters few of them have sailed before. So when they come upon a lifeboat adrift at sea, some are wary of the sailor aboard. Something about his story doesn’t quite make sense. Still, John respects the stranger’s awe-inspiring seamanship. With Horn on deck, he feels the Dragon is in the best of hands.But is Horn to be trusted? The answer becomes muddled as the Dragon encounters a very real — and very dangerous — pirate ship. Now John starts to believe his father’s warnings, especially after he becomes stranded on an island reputed to have buried treasure. A place teeming with buccaneers!From the Hardcover edition.

Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's The Age of Innocence, The Buccaneers is about five wealthy American girls denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming—and their wealth extremely useful.After Wharton's death in 1937, The Christian Science Monitor said, "If it could have been completed, The Buccaneers would doubtless stand among the richest and most sophisticated of Wharton's novels." Now, with wit and imagination, Marion Mainwaring has finished the story, taking her cue from Wharton's own synopsis. It is a novel any Wharton fan will celebrate and any romantic reader will love. This is the richly engaging story of Nan St. George and guy Thwarte, an American heiress and an English aristocrat, whose love breaks the rules of both their societies.

Ten-year-old Madeleine has begged her parents to let her go to Camp Barnaby for the summer. She has never been to summer camp; in fact, she has never been away from her parents for more than a couple days. As the school year comes to an end, Madeleine resigns herself to a summer spent alone at home until, to her surprise, she finds a new sleeping bag and camping supplies on her bed. Her wish has come true. Off she goes to Camp Barnaby! But something isn't right at Camp Barnaby. After a bear makes a surprise appearance outside the girls' cabin, the camp goes on high alert. Madeleine and her new friend, Emma, become suspicious when they find human footprints near where the bear attack took place. Could someone have drawn the bear to Camp Barnaby? Could that person be involved with the evil McGlargle Group, who has been trying to buy the camp and turn it into a tourist hotel? In order to uncover the truth, Barnaby's Buccaneers will have to sleuth their way amidst mysterious fires, animal attacks, media harassment, and perhaps even kidnapping. The McGlargle Group won't get away with their sinister plans to take over Camp Barnaby-not if Madeleine, Emma, Sam, and Oliver have anything to say about it. Madeleine wished for a summer of adventure, but she may get a lot more adventure than she bargained for at Camp Barnaby.
