In the late 17th century, famed  pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of sailing into early retirement with unfathomable wealth and her one true love when she was fatally cursed with the dust of 100 dogs, dooming her to 100 lives as a dog, before she finally reincarnates into a human body again—with all her memories intact. Now she’s a contemporary American teenager, and all she really needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.

Some kind words for THE DUST OF 100 DOGS:

The Dust of 100 Dogs is a non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist that will make you cringe, despair, despise and adore. Deliciously fresh and starkly unforgettable... for at least the next three hundred years.

–Lisa McMann, NYT bestselling author of WAKE

 

 

"Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. A rich tale of a girl born with a compass firmly planted in her hand. A.S. King is a force to be reckoned with. I'd follow Saffron into the briny deep."

–Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod

“This is a quirky, mystical, exuberant, dangerous story about pirates, dogs, family, and what it really means to break free. It’s about the true meaning of success and failure. Raw, tangible and brilliant, A.S. King creates a story that’s more than memorable. Like the 300-year-old curse that has befallen Emer, this book lasts and it makes an impression. I adored it.”

-Carrie Jones, author of Tips on Having a Gay (ex) Boyfriend, Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape), and Girl, Hero
