The Virtual Pirate by Deborah Cannon is an prequel novella to the YA Pirate Hunter series.  It narrates the defining week of Elizabeth Latimer, a headstrong 14 year old, who discovers her fate as a nascent pirate hunter."Liz", as Elizabeth is known, is a writer of highly successful blog, has an attitude with authority, is a junior champion in fencing, speaks to the parrot in her head telepathically, and experiences reality warp.Pirates make a nice change from YA fiction of vampires and werewolves.  This book offers wish fulfillment to the younger set; after all, who wouldn't want to have super powers along with encouraging parents.  Other than a tiff with a best friend, there is no angst in this book. Liz is rather humorless and arrogant.  If you like iCarly then The Virtual Pirate is right up you creek.I was given a copy of this book for a honest opinion.
