Googlebooks Info as Lib Thing App did not save my review:

"When the city of Carthage falls to the Romans during the Punic Wars, Sara, the fifteen-year-old daughter of a Carthaginian senator, must gather her grief-stricken father and take to the seas, where, with only with a meager cargo to trade, her healing skills, her wits, and her courage, Sara must face a life wildly different from anything she thought possible."

was okay but thought the main character maybe was a little bit too modern in her thinking and actions. Kids may think otherwise.
