Flyntlock Bones by Derek Keilty
A priceless golden chalice has been stolen from Fergus McSwaggers, fearsome chief of the squelchy Bog Islands ... and he wants it back! Can Flynn and the crew of the Black Hound solve their most dangerous case yet, battling deadly ice pirates, outsmarting squabbling clans, and facing the scariest beast of all the Seven Seas, the monstrous, cat-like Mogdrod? The second in the exciting Flyntlock Bones detective adventure series, this is a humorous book for both boys and girls, and it's packed with quirky black and white illustrations which really make the story come alive!
'Fabulous black-and-white pen drawings enhance every page, bringing the eccentric characters and wacky settings to lifeChildren will love to pore over the details in several double-page illustrations, including maps, a raucous banquet and an epic pirate battle. Funny and fast-paced, it will delight independent young readers, particularly those who speak Piratish and enjoy a hearty mystery.' Booktrust;'I would recommend this book to any year 2 and year 3 classroom. It is full of silly, fun, stinky humour which will leave this age range both falling off their seats and gripped by the adventurous plot. Partner this with Mark Elvins' hypnotic illustrations and we are really onto a winner for excitement and inspiring even the most reluctant of readers.' Just Imagine;'Clashing clans, family feuds and monstrous myths are woven together to create a fast and funny feast for junior sleuths.' Miss Cleveland is Reading;'The story races along at a great rate of knots and Flyntlock's quick wits mean that readers never have to wait long for the next conundrum to be cracked so that the action can continue. Young readers will love Elvins' generously-detailed illustrations.' Books For Keeps
