Episode three in this pirate-school adventure series is the most thrilling yet, as our young buccaneers discover more about themselves and each other, while there are revelations too about the traitorous League of True Pirates, aka ‘Lot P’.
For Neo, sailing with the maverick Captain December and her pet boar, the amazing Pickle, there’s the chance to follow clues left for him by his mother, while Jasmine has to head to sea without her best friend, Ocean, who Jacoby suspects may not be as trustworthy as we believed. Then there’s the shock when much-loved Captain Molina defects.
Every chapter, every page almost, brings more adventure and intrigue, while the idea of being part of these pirate crews is irresistible, who wouldn’t want to sail the seas with crewmates this bold and quick-thinking? It’s a series that sparkles, like sunlight on waves, or the light glinting on a blade, and rip-roaring doesn’t come close.
The Barracudas are at sea in the third thrilling Pirate Academy adventure …
