Rusu, Meredith The Brightest Star in the North: The
adventures of Carina Smyth, 234 pages.
Disney Press, 2017. $13. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG
(ghosts and fighting)
Carina Smyth was left on the doorstep of an orphanage with
just a old diary as a token of her lost family.
Restless and persistent, Carina craved the knowledge she needed to
understand what legacy. She constantly
pushed herself into places she wasn’t wanted, especially in a time when girls
who were educated were considered to be witches. When she finally sets out on her own to
follow a clue to the island of Saint Martins, she becomes involved with Captain
Jack Sparrow as he also tries, in his bumbling way, to find a way to restore
his previous fortunes.
The first half of the book is a great backstory to the
history of Carina Smyth. At page 139,
her story joins with the movie, occasionally bringing a different perspective
to the action. This works great as a
supplement for those who can’t get enough of the Pirates of the Caribbean
franchise.
