Splashdance Silver
by
Tansy Rayner Roberts (Goodreads Author)
Kassa Daggersharp has just heard word that her dad's dead and she's heir to a vast silver treasure-trove from the famous Splashdance pirate ship.
But in grand pirate tradition, the last will and testament of Vicious Bigbeard Daggersharp doesn't actually say where the silver is. And to add to Kassa's woes, everyone - from legendary royal champion and pin-up boy Aragon Silver...more

I picked this book up at the Lifeline Book Fair in the stuff all you can in bag for $15. It is what you will call, lets take a chance on this book ad see where it goes. I did not know the author was Australian or lived in Tasmania. What I did know was the cover made me think the book might be funny and the blurb told me it was about 'pirates and politic, treasure and traitors, epic adventures...'

I have read this book many times, but recently decided to re-read it. It never fails to entertain me, and it reminds me of a Terry Pratchett book, which is probably the highest complement I could give. Plus it made me laugh out loud on a bus full of people...
What could I possibly say about this book that would do it justice? It's an undiscovered gem in my opinion. Funny, intricate and exciting - Kassa and her band of merry pirates are such a wonderful team of misfits in a world for misfits. I really enjoyed this, and need to get my hands on the second book - Liquid Gold - which is only available from the author herself! www.tansyrr.com

Magical. Such detail. A bloody blast.
Imagine if Terry Pratchett wrote about witch-pirates, and that's pretty much the summary of this book. The writing wasn't stellar and the plot was all over the place, but it was a fun read and provided some laughs.
Light. Silly. Fun.
Many, many genre jokes and digs.
Tasmania's answer to Terry Pratchett I think. :)
