Book Reviews: The Score and The Sea Captain's Wife

Book Reviews: The Score and The Sea Captain's Wife

Two books are reviewed: 'The Score' by C. Thi Nguyen and 'The Sea Captain's Wife' by Tilar J. Mazzeo.

The Score talks about how people try to measure everything in life, which can be bad, and how playing games can be a good escape.

The Sea Captain's Wife tells the true story of a young woman named Mary Ann Patten who became the captain of a ship during a dangerous voyage.

Both books have interesting stories and important lessons.

The Score warns about the problems of always trying to measure success, while The Sea Captain's Wife shows how brave and smart Mary Ann was in a time when women weren't usually in charge of ships.

Both books are well-written and make you think about different things.
