Grades 7-11 Kora was only seven years old when her father, King Midas, gained the power to turn anything?or anyone?into solid gold with a single touch. Suddenly a routine hug leaves Kora petrified, and Midas crushed by regret. After godly intervention, Kora lives, but she is forced to bear her father's curse. Ten years later, the crown's most precious artifacts are spirited away and Kora's terrible gift is the kingdom's only hope for recovering their stolen valuables and their peace. Kora has always longed to sail the world, but chasing after pirates with a gallant duke and his reluctant ship captain, she finds the seas to be a hostile place of death, mutiny, and betrayal. When her curse has always kept people at a distance, placing her trust in others seems as terrifying as sparring against pirates. This debut holds no surprises, but fans of reimagined fairy tales may find Kora's maritime adventures, and her hopeful romance with a young man also touched by a curse, a diverting addition to the genre.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
