"Struggs" was a very fun read for me. The story takes place in Boston in 1775 and evolves around orphans, privateers & the British occupiers. All and all, a very good coming of age novel.The humor is fresh, even for 1775 standards. The writing is smooth and vivid with just enough details. The characters are fun: John is a kinda 'down on his luck' orphan, Melba a sassy fencing orphan. Knuckles a handsome privateer with a sarcastic side & O'Neil a storytelling ex-pirate, and probably the most interesting one in the book. A captivating and fun work of fiction that I highly recommend.
