Rose Scott’s Summer Book Pick Reflects Swashbuckling Side

Kate Sweeney / WABE

Rose Scott, co-host of “Closer Look,” is drawn to reporting on those whose voices may otherwise be lost, and often what she uncovers is not pretty. She’s covered a number of hard-hitting stories affecting young people, including the sex trafficking of minors in Atlanta and the cheating scandal in Atlanta Public Schools.

It’s good to have a break from that.

So when asked to talk about one of her favorite books for Page-Turners, Rose chose “The Dagger Quick” by Brian Eames, a children’s chapter book that’s all about escape and pirates.
