Tell No Tales : Pirates of the Southern Seas by Sam Maggs (author) and Kendra Wells (illustrator)

Inspired by real-life women pirates, this graphic novel, released in February of 2021, promises to be the first of a series. Anne Bonny is the captain of La Sirene, whose diverse crew members each rise to the occasion, showing their individual strengths, when time on the sea puts them in dramatic situations. Told with plenty of humor and action-adventure, the illustrations waiver between retro comic books (X’s in the eyes, WHAM!, KABOOM!) and pop culture (“Oh, [poop emoji] !”) See how this band of misfits battle the more technically advanced, men-driven ship, and be ready for romance to show up in unexpected places.
