Characters:
Jessie. The hero of the story. Jessie is a child, around the age of 11. I liked Jessie. She didn't seem to like James when she first met him, but as they spent time together, they grew more like brother and sister.
James. Jessie's cousin and a hero. James is around the age of 12, older than his cousin. James was shy at the start of the story, but eventually he gained more courage.
Grania O' Malley. The ghost pirate queen.
Plot:
When people discover that the Big Hill is full of gold, the islanders want to cut off the top of the hill to make themselves rich. Jessie and Jack are determined to save Big Hill, but what can they do? Only Grania O' Malley, the pirate queen, can save Big Hill.
Opinion:
I found this book very interesting, as the story was always moving. My favourite part in the story was when all of the islanders climbed to the very top of Big Hill, trying to stop the diggers from cutting the top off it. One of the scary bits was when James and Jessie slipped into the water and nearly drowned. I learned ''you don't know what you can do until you try''.
Recommend:
I would definitely recommend this book to older children. The plot may be hard to understand for under 7s. I would recommend this book because it has a very good story to tell.
