Upon arrival at her new boarding school, The Brakem Academy, 8 year old
Beatrice Bollingbrook-Drivelington is welcomed by the headmaster, Dr
Bruit, an ogre of a man who ruled with an iron fist. The children
escape, stealing Captain Murderer's pride and joy, the ship The
Bloodbath. Twelve year olds Sam Skull and Katy Crossbones captain the
crew of misfit children in the 1700s. Branded pirates by the British
government, the kids sail the seven seas in search of adventure and, of
course, mountains of treasure. Discovering a map left behind by Captain
Murderer, the new crew of The Bloodbath follow a perilous treasure trail
that leads them to deadly danger on and under the sea. Hot on their
stern sails a mix of the most diabolical villains the world has ever
known, plus Captain Algernon Righteous of the British navy who is
determined to bring the children to justice and execution.
