Adventures of the Steampunk Pirates: rise of the slippery sea monster
Publisher: Stripes
Captain Clockheart leads a band or robot pirates who sail the sea, stealing treasure from other ships. They are surprised when their treasure is stolen by a strange sea monster - and they make plans to get the loot back.
The pirates meet up with an old friend, Captain Inkybeard, whose treasure has also been stolen. The two groups make a plan to head to Rotten Apple Harbour, where they believe the monster has its lair. They soon discover that there is more to the sea monster than meets the eye!
Robots, adventure, pirates and jokes abound in this rip-roaring tale of daring-do on the high seas. Readers who enjoy this fast-paced adventure story will be pleased to learn that there are other books in the series.
