Baggywrinkles: A Lubber's Guide to Life at Sea by Lucy Bellwood
4.0
Super engaging, candid, breaking the 4th wall, episodic collection of pieces about the author's experiences working on old timey sailing ships.
Read this on a couple of lunch breaks at work.
While basically appropriate for all ages, I think I'm gonna have my library system shift it from our Juvenile collection to the YA. The author is largely talking about an after-high school adventure she had, and the gaze feels older than J stuff usually should be. There's a pretty big section, based on research, about scurvy. I might even booktalk it to the high schoolers.
I'm looking forward to reading the next thing Bellwood does. I'd love to read a more long-form graphic novel from her!
