Description: |

Synopsis: |
'Good morning' said Emily politely. 'Smells like an earthquake,' said Margaret. Life for the Bas-Thorton children was like this: shooting humming birds, swimming naked in the bathing-hole, trapping rats, scaring the locals, earthquakes, hurricanes, riding ponies under the fierce Jamaican sun. Nothing of much importance. Until the day they are sent back to England by their parents and captured by pirates...This isn't a book for you if you're just after a regular adventure story. This is a tale of piracy, murder, wild animals, wild men, innocence and growing up. Above all, it's about survival. |
