Nathan has always dreamed about pirates. So when Tamo White, the son of a pirate, suggests that Nathan go home with him to Madagascar, it is too good a chance to miss. But dreams are one thing, and reality another - is Nathan ready to meet real pirates? And then there's his sister, Mousy Maud - how will she survive in a strange land full of savages and cut-throats? Geraldine McCaughrean is one of the most highly-acclaimed living children's writers. She has won the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Children's Novel Award (twice), the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, and the inaugural Blue Peter Book of the Year Award. This book has a stunning new cover design for all of Geraldine McCaughrean's novels - this title is being issued simultaneously with new matching edition of "Forever X". The piratical theme will appeal to all lovers of adventure stories.
