Publisher's Note
After a terrible hurricane levels their Jamaican estate, the Bas-Thorntons decide to send their children back to the safety and comfort of England. On the way pirates set upon their ship, and the children are accidentally transferred to the pirate vessel, Jonsen, the well-meaning pirate captain, doesn't know how to dispose of his new cargo, while the children adjust with surprising case to their new life unequalled exploration of the nature and limits of innocence.

Industry Reviews
"[An] eerie, magical, and now unfortunately little-read tale of middle-class English children on a ship, bound for England, that has been captured by a motley crew of modern-day pirates....'A High Wind in Jamaica' is part fairy tale, part horror parable, a gripping portrayal of the ways in which Emily and her companions are affected by their bizarre outlaw experience on the sea, and in turn affect their pirate-abductors."
New York Review of Books - Joyce Carol Oates (11/06/1997)

"A HIGH WIND IN JAMAICA is like those books you used to read under the covers with a flashlight--only infinitely more delicious and macabre."
(07/07/2009)
