| Summary Note |
1750, when times were tough and teeth were rotten. As part of an ancient family tradition, young Atticus Van Tasticus narrowly escapes a life down the coal mines, or worse, going to school, when he gets to choose the gift of a pirate ship from his Grandnan's treasure pile. It's a choice that will change the course of history, well, OK, his story, at least. Atticus pulls together a rag-tag bunch misfits, AHEM, a tough, brilliant crew, and sets out to wreak havoc, I mean, live a piratin' life. With little else to his name, Atticus has a taste for adventure, beauty and danger, where any minute might be your last, and your next minute could be your best (... if only they could get off the dock). |
