One of my first and absolute favorite stories was <em>Captain Fin.</em> I would eventually write and direct that story as a short film. The film was a big success in festivals, so I then wrote the feature-length script. But, it wasn't until I was introduced to Amanda M. Thrasher years later that I would see the depths that this story could really go. Amanda has molded the lead character Hannah into a beautifully enriched soul with incredible layers. Amanda's novel goes so much deeper into the life that Hannah lead after so much misfortune fell upon her as a little girl. Her story takes us on a gripping journey as she weaves us through Hannah's unrelenting pursuit of her past. This is my second feature film script that has been written into a novel, and it is without a doubt my absolute favorite! Amanda's kind and caring soul is so deeply embedded in this amazing novel...it will touch people on so many levels.</p><p>- Kevin James O'Neill</p><p><br /> 5 STAR REVIEW READERS' FAVORITE Captain Fin is a work of young adult fiction penned by author Amanda M. Thrasher and adapted from a screenplay by Kevin James O'Neill. In this tale, we find our hero Hannah Gunner in a state of turmoil regarding the secrets unveiled about her life. Hannah doesn't really know the full particulars of who she is, and so she forms a trio of inquirers with her boyfriend Cash and best friend Lindsay to discover the truth about herself. She must distinguish between memories and dreams to uncover reality, coming face to face with the ghosts of her past and the elusive Captain that haunts her still. This is a fascinating tale that certainly has much to offer its young adult readers, with likable lead characters, hidden treasure and secrets, as well as important social issues about growing up, learning who you really are, and having that sense of self put to the test by the information and people you face in the wider world. Hannah is an endearing lead character whom author Amanda M. Thrasher makes very likable and relatable, and I enjoyed the unreliability of the memories and secrets she has to deal with. This enhances the overall plot with plenty of twists and suspense, making it all the more exciting when moments of real truth do emerge for us to put the pieces of Hannah's life together. Overall, <em>Captain Fin</em> is a strong work of teen identity, adventure, mystery and plenty of hijinks to keep its readers entertained. - Reviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite</p><p><em>Captain Fin </em>is artistry in words! The reader feels the emotion and temperament of each character vividly!

It is masterful! - Sue Nodler Hamideh</p><p> </p><br>
