Ok. Now I loved this book. I was spending the night at my friends house with her cousin when, before we went to bed, they were all talking about how Rosie and Radier are a perfect match and stuff. I just closed my ears cause it seemed so boring. A romance novel? Reading? Get real! I would never read a book (over 20 pages) unless a teacher threaten me to (which happens offten. Anyway I woke up at 7:00 and well they were not gonna wake up for another 5 hours (lazy bums) and so I made the mistake by picking up the book Into the Wind, By Jean Ferris and got halfway throgh when they woke up. From then on the book was glued to my fingers! I could not put it down! It's just too good! So when your done with this book (which I really recommend)pick up the sequal- Song of the Sea, which is a great book as well! And when you are done with that book- Weather the Change! That book is Da Bomb! They just get better and better....! I would lock myself in my basement (which is soundproof) and just read for hours straight! i had to take a different book to shcool in fear I was gonna lose it and not get to read the ending! Plus also I needed complete slince...so I wouldn't stand up in class and yell for everyone to be quiet cause if I did, I would get cussed out and sharp objects thrown at me...I love my school! Well thanks for reading my review if you got this far, which I highly doubt, and READ THE BOOK!

I LOVED this book. I've read it at least five times now.... and the story gets better and better with each sequel (Song of the Sea, Weather the Storm). The book just envelopes the reader in the story and is so enjoyable one can never put it down! It brought me to another place, a wonderful escape, such a sweet love story. Ahh if only it could be real, hehe. Great book!

I loved this book and all the rest of the series! The second and third books of the series may not be for younger readers but I loved them! As soon as I started reading "Into the Wind" I was deaf to the world. I love how I felt like I was IN the story, watching what was happening to Rosie and Raider first hand. I wish I could find these three books for sale somewhere, they're definitely worth the search! Anyway, I would highly recommend the whole series for a fantastic Young Adult Romance Series!

I loved this book. I first found it in the Young Adult section of my library and I have read all three books in the Rosie and Raider series. I fell in love with the characters. I have read all three books cover to cover at least three times. These are the books that inspired me to write myself. I would recommend these books to anyone!

Into the Wind, Song of the Sea and Weather the Storm are my three favorite books of all time!! Unfortunately I loaned Into the Wind and Weather the Storm to someone and never got them back :( I've been searching for copies of the two books but have been unsuccessful( for like two months) Well, I recommend it to everyone and if any one has copies of into the Wind and Weather the storm they wanna sell me, please do!!

I was honestly very very shocked to find bad ratings on this review list. I loved the book and I am very critical of books. It was a fun, adventuresome read. Although one person said it was not historically accurate, I disagree very much. I have studied the War of 1812 and Jean Ferris did an excellent job at recreating the naval part of the war. Privateers were very important in that conflict. I LOVED this book, it was a wonderful, entertaining read. Please read it, you'll enjoy it!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It starts off ok not really exciting. But then Rosie's home gets burnt down and A capton of a ship rescues her. This is no ordinary captain though, He is so hot. he takes her aboard a ship that his girlfriend captains and kisses her right in front of his girl. Then she gets talken care of Tuti and falls asleep on her bunk. When she wakes up the ship has set sail. Among some of the adventures she has are Climbing the ships rigging, Seeing an pirate attack, and getting kidnapped by the creepiest dude. If you like adventure I would so recomend this book. The charecters are so real. You really get to know Octavia, Animal, Big Tom, Baptiste, Barnaby, Rosie, And Raider. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because there was not nearly enough Raider. If you want more Raider and Rosie though, Read the 2 Sequils, Song of the Sea and Weather the Storm!!

This was one of the best books I have read in years. The story starts with rosie a young girl who works in her father's tavern. When a brawl breaks out and the tavern is burned to the ground, turning to young raider lyons , she vebtures out on the high seas where she sails with a group of pirates. Thoughout the story, raider and rosie fall in love. There story is continued in two more books which I strongly reccommend reading.

This book isn't meant to be a classic, or completely accurate as far as it's historical aspects. The point is to get your heart racing because it is a fantasy novel. I couldn't put it down once, and as soon as I finished I was out looking for a sequel.

I for one found this book exciting and unpredictable to a point. This book wasn't suppose to be completely realistic. If you want a realistic book go to the NON-fiction section! This was a book about the strength of love and friendship. It's a wonderful book, but don't take my advice or anyone elses. Go by the book and decide for yourself!
