Missing at Sea: Pirate Academy 2
A weekend's adventure at sea turns into a terrifying test of true mettle for Jasmine, Jacoby and Neo, and the rest of the Pirate Academy crew in this fast-paced and exciting fantasy adventure series perfect for readers of How to Train Your Dragon or Artemis Fowl.
'Pirates done right! I love this world.' - Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl
'So engaging, with a great cast of characters.' - Kiah Thomas, author of The Callers
Pirate Academy is buzzing with anticipation about the upcoming Oceans Bound weekend - two whole days of freedom and adventure. It's a competition that requires five crews, five ships, excellent leadership and amazing teamwork. Each crew must complete a range of challenges delivered to them via a message in a bottle. And there'll be no teachers on board! Oceans Bound will test Barracuda Class's BRONTE skills to the limit - only those with the right amount of Bravery, Resilience, Observation, Navigation, Teamwork and general Excellence will complete the course.
But when the ringleader of the League of True Pirates escapes from prison, the competition turns deadly serious. Unbeknownst to the Academy, for one particular crew, Oceans Bound has turned into a series of near-impossible tasks, leading Jasmine, Jacoby and Neo into terrible danger.
Will the young pirates-in-training complete the course and triumph against their fiendish enemy? Or will the League of True Pirates have even more spine-tingling surprises up their sleeves?
It's another day in Pirate Academy and another swashbuckling adventure!

- Reluctant and confident readers aged 8+ seeking fast-paced adventure stories
