NOTES
This "wryly humorous, satiric, and often macabre novel" (Library Journal) follows Jean Smeeks, a Flemish thirteen-year-old who signs up as an indentured servant with the French West Indies Company, but instead winds up a slave on the notorious island of Tortuga. Over time, he learns the arts of herbal medicine and surgery-a skill that allows him to join a band of Caribbean pirates
