Something Wickedly Weird: The Ice Pirates

by Chris Mould

Crampton Rock is a peaceful fishing village on a remote island, accessible only at low tide. And all looks crisp and cosy as Stanley Buggles settles down for the winter. But something wicked has blown in with the wind. What is the headless ghost desperate to tell Stanley? And who are the deadly pirates, marching through the oncoming blizzard ?
