Booktalk:
They called me shipwreck because I had been rescued from one. Of my stepfather with whom I had been traveling, there was no sign. So, I became the cabin boy of the pirate ship The Giant Rat of Sumatra for Captain Gallows, the daring young and flamboyant leader of the pirates. We had come halfway across the world to the sleepy bay of San Diego on the Mexican coast of California little knowing that the captain was retiring from his life on the high seas, returning to his roots, the girl he had left behind, and the villain upon whom he had promised retribution.
