Penny Blackfeather - Francesca Dare

Penelope Blake is an atypical young woman who would rather search for ghosts in a haunted house than try to find her prince charming at a ball. Desperately trying to escape her dull suitors and encouraged by the sarcastic ghost of her late pirate grandfather, Nathaniel Blackdeather, Penny is on the constant lookout for adventure! Anything but yet another boring aristocrat! In a world of magical critters and accompanied by her new found friend and his parrot, Penny finally finds the adventure she's been looking for, and this magical experience will colour her life, quite literally.
