When Buddy Stebbins stumbles onto the thirteenth floor of a shabby old
building, he finds himself suddenly transported aboard a leaking pirate
ship in a howling storm--three hundred years in the past! Cast adrift
with Captain John Crack-stone, Buddy washes up in New England, where his
plucky ancestor, Abigail, is caught up in the witchcraft mania. In an
adventure filled with ghosts, witches, pirates, and razzle-dazzle
treasure, Buddy might be able to save his wayward ancestors. But will he
find his way back to the thirteenth floor--and home?
