Her biggest dream was to become a mail jumper, not the key witness to a crime... All Bailey wants is to join the elite crew of mail jumpers, fleet-footed kids who must leap from boat to pier to deliver the mail around a Wisconsin lake. She's never done anything so daring in her life, but the hazards of wind and wave would be worth it to work alongside Captain Tommy. If she'd ever had a grandfather-or a family at all-she would have wanted him to be like Tommy. But all her charts to success may end up in the drink when she catches a veteran mail jumper red-handed with a key to the police station. Only the night before, someone broke in and attacked a dispatcher. Is it possible that Baron, the most popular boy in town... is the villain? Meanwhile, Police Detective Monica Steele learns that the case carries ties to a murder thought solved long ago, a suspect who's been behind bars almost twenty years, and a cop she always knew was crooked to the bone. Can they dredge up the truth before Baron catches on? Or will Bailey's dreams for a perfect summer be dashed against the shore? The Girl on the Boat is a prequel novella to the thrilling Mailboat Suspense Series. If you like hurricane-force plot twists, complex characters you can't help but love, and a real-life setting that comes to life on the page, then you'll love Danielle Lincoln Hanna's enthralling tale!

From the author of Pest—a Washington Post Noteworthy Book—comes a hilarious new novel that showcases the author’s talents at their best. Fifteen-year-old Caitlin Davies’s life is challenging enough. She’s short. She’s scrawny. She prefers Evernote to SnapChat. She’s two years younger than everyone else in her grade. And now her parents are taking the family to the British Virgin Islands (BVI)—for a year—to live on a derelict sailboat, bought sight-unseen from navigationally-impaired cigar smugglers. So when her best—and only—friend suggests she use the move as a chance to reinvent herself, Caitlin has nothing to lose. And it works. People (plural!) in the BVI actually like her, and not only because of the interesting stuff she found beneath her new home’s splintery floorboards. Even Tristan, the cutest guy on the island, is beguiled by her easygoing air and artfully padded bikini top. She just can’t help wondering, though, if New Caitlin and the real Caitlin have anything in common. And when the sailboat’s former owners come looking for their forgotten contraband, she wonders if she’ll ever get the chance to find out. With a fresh style and perspective, and bursting with humor and charm, Boat Girl is a quirky and fast-paced YA coming-of-age story that will have you laughing out loud.

Her father traded away her youth. Sea bandits stole her freedom. She has one way to get them back: Become the most powerful pirate in the world. South China coast, 1801. Sold as a child to a floating brothel, 26-year-old Yang has finally bought her freedom, only to be kidnapped by a brutal pirate gang and forced to marry their leader. Dragged through stormy seas and lawless bandit havens, Yang must stay scrappy to survive. She embeds herself in the dark business of piracy, carving out her role against the resistance of powerful pirate leaders and Cheung Po Tsai, her husband's flamboyant male concubine. As she is caught between bitter rivals fighting for mastery over the pirates—and for her heart—Yang faces a choice between two things she never dreamed might be hers: power or love. Based on a true story that has never been fully told until now, The Flower Boat Girl is the tale of a woman who, against all odds, shaped history on her own terms. "A breathtaking saga of a real life heroine, so richly alive that the pages seem to breathe." -Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author
