In “The Siren’s Call: Pirates of the Withering Coast“, Alonna Williams spins an imaginative yarn of merfolk and pirates. Posh teen Trevor Henderson strains against his privileged but unfulfilling life and, guided by a mysterious voice, sets out for an adventure at sea to uncover the secrets of his heritage. While the pirate elements in the story might feel somewhat sketchy, they serve as a backdrop to show Trevor’s personal growth. By contrast, the Aquatics are deeply and richly imagined. Fans of Percy Jackson may find themselves at home in this tale of myth and adventure with a strong current of mystery.
