Book description
Meet Little Jane Silver, the twelve year-old granddaughter of
notorious Treasure Island pirate Long John Silver. Growing up
on the Pieces of Eight, the pirate ship of her
parents, Captains Bonnie Mary Bright and Long John Silver II, Little
Jane is increasingly frustrated with being thrust below decks whenever
any real pirating action takes place.
Desperate to be taken seriously as a member of the crew, Little Jane
vows to become a real pirate, but every attempt she makes to prove
herself onboard seems to backfire. As the Pieces of Eight is
pursued by a mysterious pirate hunter, Little Jane tries to alert the
crew to a devious saboteur on the ship, but by the time someone pays
attention, its too late.
On her own for the first time, Little Jane must grow up fast and
find the courage to undergo the most important test of her young life
a quest to save her family.
