The Bookworm's Starter Kit: The Night Ship by Jess Kidd

In 1629, young Mayken boards the Batavia, sailing to the East Indies, grieving her mother and oblivious to the lurking dangers onboard. A shipwreck on the coast of Western Australia plunges her into a nightmare of survival. Centuries later, nine-year-old Gil grapples with his own grief as he arrives on the same island, haunted by whispers of the Batavia's dark history. As he uncovers the shipwreck's secrets, Gil's and Mayken's stories intertwine across time in this exploration of resilience, loss, and the enduring power of the past. Historical fiction readers will be captivated by this dual-timeline narrative filled with atmospheric prose, compelling characters, and an intriguing mystery.

Begin your "Shadows & Lace" reading journey with The Bookworm's Starter Kit, a curated set designed for the reader who values the craft of the story. As you navigate the haunted seas of Kidd’s evocative prose, use the Misty Harbor Annotation Tabs—a palette of deep, stormy navy and muted slate greys—to track the parallel timelines and recurring whispers of the past. The translucent, sea-glass tones ensure you can mark every haunting detail of Mayken and Gil's journey without obscuring a single word of the text. This kit provides the essential tools to transform your reading session into an active, intentional journey—perfect for an active reader looking to unravel a century-spanning mystery.
