Deadweather and Sunrise, by Geoff Rodkey (Putnam, May 29, 2012, middle grade) is an intriguing and entertaining adventure set in a piratical, alternate colonial-historical world (vaguely reminiscent of Joan Aiken).ฤก3 year old Egbert Masterson has lived a somewhat sheltered life-not the nice sort of cozy shelter where one is protected from unpleasantness. ![]()
