To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she's ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won't let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard's cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who's having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can't be a pirate just because she's a girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe may not be the best man for the job, but she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd don’t miss the Prime Video streaming hit \u003ci\u003eMy Lady Jane! \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003cem\u003eMY IMAGINARY MARY\u003c\/em\u003e:  \u003cstrong\u003e★ \u003c\/strong\u003e“Energetic, clever, and absorbing.
