Grace the Pirate

Summary: Grace, a teenage girl, is the best sailor on board the pirate ship Sea Devil, but Captain Cutthroat leaves her to die out on a desert island anyway. Through cunning and courage, Grace manages to survive, and ends up being rescued less than a year later by the same crew that abandoned her. They have been abandoned by their captain and face certain death without her leadership. She agrees to help them, wins a few battles (making them all rich), and then turns them to a life of respectability.
