Pirates of Darksea

From the award-winning author of The Storm Keeper`s Island, set sail on Catherine Doyle`s latest perilous adventure to the magical islands of Darksea Deep in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, where the full moon rests on the horizon, lies a secret kingdom called Darksea. Ruled by the Pirate King, Captain O`Malley, Darksea`s tranquil waters have, of late, been haunted by an invisible and deadly monster - a monster that is eating the once-beautiful islands in gigantic bites. On the other side of the horizon, at his home in Galway, Max Reid and his family are battling a different monster. His big brother Christopher is in hospital and getting sicker - and his parents have begun to talk of miracles. Then one night a loud, bright red parrot taps on Max`s bedroom window, carrying an invitation from the pirate king. Captain O`Malley needs a new crew member for a dangerous quest; and the reward is everything Max has been hoping for. But in Darksea, not everyone is as they seem. When Captain O`Malley`s secret threatens to upend their mission and destroy Max`s chance to help his family, Max realises he`s going to have to navigate much more than he bargained for.
