THE QUEST FOR THE GALLEON OF TIME
BY TANYA HUNTER
With too many mouths to feed at home, 11-year-old Tobias Crane is sent by his father to be a cabin boy on a galleon. Despite missing his family, Tobias finds good friends amongst the crew and soon discovers that he has a talent for navigation. But when his ship is attacked by the pirate ship Hades’ Damnation, Tobias must find the hidden truths about his captain, the captain’s two brothers, and the ghost ship, the Majestic Maria.
The Quest for the Galleon of Time is an exciting adventure, showing what life might have been like on the open seas in the year 1738, with a ghostly twist. With the help of his friends, brave Tobias faces deadly obstacles made more complicated by the lethal family dynamics of three brothers – one good, one evil, and one dead!
