Accidental Pirates

di Stanley Wheeler (Autore)

Raconteur Press, 2025

Chris and Kenny went into Forty Thieves Cave looking for a little adventure with their grandpa. They crawled out into something much bigger. On the far side of a crack in the cave wall, the twins find a Caribbean that never made it into any history book: buccaneers, marooned sailors, cannibal islands, and a green dragon the pirates call the Green Lady, whose fire can turn a schooner to ash in a single pass. Before the first day is out, the brothers have stitched a knife wound, dodged a cutlass, and been hauled aboard the pirate ship Sorceress by the ruthless Captain Ross. They don't have superpowers. They have two pocketknives, a razor-edged dragon feather, and each other. To get home, they'll have to load a flintlock faster than a man can aim one, climb the rigging without looking down, outwit a captain who means to sell them, and decide whether the legendary Lost Chest is worth walking onto Dragon Island to find. No magic wand fixes anything out here. What saves the brothers is nerve, teamwork, and hands-on know-how. It's Treasure Island for a new crew of readers, with a dragon thrown in for good measure. Accidental Pirates is the first book in The Accidental Adventures Series: fast, funny, and packed with real danger, for readers 8 to 12 who would rather live a story than sit still for one.
