“Absolutely hilarious!”—Melinda Long,
author of How I Became a Pirate
Fundorado Island
CAPTAIN REDBEARD
BEIN’ A PIRATE, I’ve had me share of swashbucklin’ adventure. But what I’m
pullin’ ye into be more thrillin’ than any lit keg o’ gunpowder I ever leapt
away from. Put on yer sea legs, matey, and stick close to me words. Thar’ll
be scurvy scoundrels, shiny doubloons, high-seas skullduggery, barrels full
o’ blasted jelly beans, and a magical spot o’ land no one has ever seen
(except yers truly).
Includes black-and-white illustrations!
“Young scoundrels will dive right into these high-seas adventures.”
—Martha Stewart Living Radio
Captain Redbeard is well known to maritime enthusiasts as a pirate who loves
his treasure so much he would rather sleep on it than bury it. He has spread his
infamous name across the seas, and, though the tale is the subject of much
debate, it is rumored he was responsible for the disappearance of all those
aboard the storied Mary Celeste. It was his strained relationship with jelly beans,
however, that led him into his grandest adventure.
