Showing results for "life" in Pirates

This set includes five tales of extraordinary heroism, marvelous intrigue, and exceptional courage that have inspired and amazed people for generations.

As the Wobbly Wench drifts into stranger waters, Captain Clumsy and his loyal crew encounter shifting islands, living sand, and an unsettling new force: the Order of the Straight Line—pirates who believe the world works best when everything is controlled, corrected, and perfectly aligned. But the sea disagrees. This thoughtful, gently humorous adventure explores what happens when certainty presses too hard, when control replaces listening, and when letting go turns out to be the bravest choice of all.

The sea won’t sit still. The ground won’t stay put. And this time, even Captain Clumsy has to stop and listen. In The Isle of Trembling Tides, the second book in The Secret Life of a Very Clumsy Pirate series, Captain Barnaby Blunderbuss and the crew of the Wobbly Wench sail into waters that don’t behave like water at all. Here, tides pull sideways, islands shift underfoot, and paths disappear the moment you chase them. The more you rush, the worse things get. The more you worry, the more the island trembles.

As the Wobbly Wench sails through waters that move only sometimes—and stay perfectly still at others—Captain Clumsy and his crew discover that the sea has changed its rules. It no longer corrects mistakes. It no longer responds to shouting or certainty. And it will not obey. While other captains struggle to regain control, a familiar threat returns in a new form: the Order of the Straight Line, determined to force the sea back into predictability. But the sea resists—not with storms or waves, but with silence.

Captain Clumsy has always relied on the ocean’s strange ways—its nudges, its wobble, its quiet corrections—to keep him moving forward. Even when he fell, something always seemed to soften the landing. But one morning, the sea goes completely still. No waves. No guidance. No second chances. As the Wobbly Wench drifts across a silent ocean, Captain Clumsy and his crew must learn to sail without shortcuts, without answers, and without being rescued from their mistakes.

Pirates are defying international laws and killing Great White sharks off South Africa's coast. Tyler and Alena Worthy are scuba diving in Santa Barbara when they get the emergency call. The twins head up the Aquatic Investigative unit of the Save Our Seas Foundation. Their mission: help preserve the fragile environmental balance in the world's oceans no matter where it takes them, now matter how dangerous the mission is.

Every pirate dreams of fame, glory, and treasure. But Captain Barnaby Blunderbuss — better known as Captain Clumsy — keeps tripping over ropes, falling into barrels, and accidentally turning disasters into adventures. When Captain Clumsy and his loyal (and long-suffering) crew set sail aboard The Wobbly Wench, they aren’t expecting much more than a few spills and splashes. But a mysterious treasure map leads them to the Island of Oddities — a place filled with bouncing rocks, singing cacti, wiggly vines, talking sea creatures, rival pirates, and a treasure hunt like no other.

For each year pirates came to the islands to steal young boys for their crew. And if that happened to you, well, you may as well kiss your life good-bye.
