There's adventure on the high seas, mad skeleton dancing by firelight, spoiled rich crushes and penniless best friends, hateful enemies, the search for lost loved ones, fights to the death, and that most enticing staple of pirate stories: a treasure hoard. India Bones, accidental stow away on the Ship of the Dead, is our intrepid teenage protagonist, traveling this magical other-world Caribbean with a group of rowdy but surprisingly warm skeleton pirates, picking up new friends and enemies along the way. If I had to describe this book in three words, I would go with wondrous, intense, and enchanting.


Magical, swashbuckling adventure for anyone who dreams of becoming a pirate
