Hope Larson2017
Twelve-year-old twin adventurers Cleopatra and Alexandra Dodge are reunited with their father and realize that two family heirlooms reveal the location of a treasure that is their birthright. When they set sail with Captain Tarboro on the Almira, they know they’re heading into danger —the ocean is filled with new and old enemies, including their nemesis, the infamous pirate Felix Worley. But like a coral reef that lurks below the surface of the waves, trouble is brewing between the siblings. Alex is determined to become a sailor and is happy with his role aboard the Almira, but Cleo—the only girl on the ship—is tired of washing dishes in the galley. In an effort to find her own purpose, she begins studying sword fighting with Tarboro, but neither Alex nor her father approves. Can the twins remain close as they pursue different goals and dreams, or will their growing differences tear the family apart before the treasure can be found? In this follow-up to the New York Times bestselling COMPASS SOUTH, Hope Larson and Rebecca Mock once again create an outstanding seafaring adventure with KNIFE'S EDGE. A Margaret Ferguson Book

This was a nice conclusion to the story but mostly made me a little upset. I love the art and the atmosphere and the plot but it go’s real hard when it comes to “girls are made for housework” time period mentally crap. And also!!?? The first one had a tiny romance that was pretty cute, but this one threw a new one into the mix? That came out of NOWHERE?? She wanted to sword fight, but the men wouldn’t let her. Enter a boy around her age into the cast and so obviously they had to end up kissing? For no reason? Sad. This could have been super great but it was pretty lack luster and made me mad for Cleo and that never really got resolved with any real time or effort or thought. It was just tacked on at the end like, “oh yeah. I guess you can do some stuff too even though you are a woman the end”. Womp womp.
