In the tradition of Treasure Island, The Dukeโs Curse continues this thrilling middle-grade series following an unlikely young pirate on a high-stakes sea adventure, by New York Times bestselling author Gregory Mone
Young treasure hunter Fishโnicknamed for his swimming abilitiesโlearns that his refusal to fight has a cost when heโs torn away from his pirate family. Fish and his friends Nora and Daniel are forced to sail under Countess Marie de Bornholdt, the widely feared and very unusual captain of the Rat Queen, and her latest assistantโFishโs arch nemesis, Scab.
In search of the storied ship with emerald eyes, the Rat Queenโs treasure hunters race from the islands of the Caribbean Sea to the canals of Venice and the sunken library of a cursed prince. Yet theyโre not the only pirates on the trail. After an unusual map leads them to a mysterious island, a climactic final battle blurs the line between friend and foe, forcing Fish and his friends to make a terrible choice.
A swashbuckling tale of mistaken identities, lost maps and treasures, and the bonds of friendship.
