Description
A stunning middle-grade debutรขยยfull of heart, humor, and nonstop action.Itรขยยs tough to be thirteen, especially when somebodyรขยยs trying to kill you.
Not that Eggรขยยs life was ever easy, growing up on sweaty, pirate-infested Deadweather Island with no company except an incompetent tutor and a pair of unusually violent siblings who hate his guts.
But when Eggรขยยs father hustles their family off on a mysterious errand to fabulously wealthy Sunrise Island, then disappears with the siblings in a freak accident, Egg finds himself a long-term guest at the mansion of the glamorous Pembroke family and their beautiful, sharp-tongued daughter Millicent. Finally, life seems perfect.
Until someone tries to throw him off a cliff.
Suddenly, Eggรขยยs running for his life in a bewildering world of cutthroat pirates, villainous businessmen, and strange Native legends. The only people who can help him sort out the mystery of why heรขยยs been marked for death are Millicent and a one-handed, possibly deranged cabin boy.
Come along for the ride. Youรขยยll be glad you did. ISBN:9780399257858
