Red Sails
This novella is compelling from beginning to end; from Captain Vigoreaux's origin story, to the stranded men's discovery of native girl Sampari and her people, to the numerous fights between captives, natives and pirates in various combinations. My only complaint about Red Sails is that it should have been a novel. The story was over too quickly and could have easily held it's own over the course of a three-hundred page book with the addition of some subplots and modifications to the storyline. I really hope Erdelac finds time to revisit Vigoreaux and his crew.
When P.I. Regan Reilly attends a class reunion in England, the long-dead body of her former roommate turns up. Clues to the mystery follow Regan as she sails home--and into the hands of a killer.

The Wild Things
In Eggers’ novel, adapted from Spike Jonze’s film of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, Max is a robust, self-reliant boy who acts out in response to his parents’ divorce. After some particularly epic mischief, he runs away, finds a boat, and sails it to a land where large, destructive beasts are willing to recognize him as their king—but Max, as it turns out, is not a particularly good king.
