Steel: A book to bring back your inner child

Steel by Carrie Vaughn: This book isn't really deep. So don't expect something like that. However, this book is delightful and brings out the inner child all of us. Our main character Jill is for the most part, at the beginning and up until the end, a normal teenage girl. However, she wants to be an Olympic fencer. She's heartbroken after losing the tournament, but that all changes when she's pulled into the past by a broken sword piece. Things start to fall into place for Jill as she becomes a pirate, all in the hopes of journeying home. She shows both bravery and fear. Unlike some of the other pirates we all know ...

Jill may never panic like this but she does show fear, fear that she overcomes. This book puts value in courage and facing our fears all for the goals we love. Though this book will bring out your inner child it doesn't mean there isn't a good fight scene. Fencing is a long loved sport, and it shows technique, but our dear Jill learns there's more to a sword than their is a fencing rapier.
 This book has passion, and a spark I haven't seen for a long time. If you miss the stories of your youth filled with passion, friendship, and lovable pirates, try Steel by Carrie Vaughn.
