If you hated Lemony Snicket, you won't like this! Nasty old ladies, trains that go nowhere, a giant octopus and a shipful of the bloodthirstiest rogues that ever sailed the ocean wave-will the heroic Alex overcome all and discover the secret of The Ironic Gentleman, deadliest of all pirate ships? Brilliantly imaginative, with a wild sense of humour!
Ages: 9-12
