From Justin Somper, award-winning author of the Vampirates series, comes the second book in this new swashbuckling fantasy adventure series.

At the elite Pirate Academy, it's only been a few weeks since the Barracuda class's run-in with the dangerous League of True Pirates. But now they have more pressing matters at hand, like the upcoming Oceans Bound weekend! It's the first time the class will be given the chance to man their own crews and sail the seas without their teachers, and no one's more excited than Jacoby, Jasmine, and Neo. 

As the Barracudas set sail and begin navigating the complex trail of tasks left for them by their Pirate Academy captains, the obstacles quickly become more and more treacherous. Soon it's clear: someone else has taken control of Oceans Bound. It's going to take everything they've got for the plucky young pirates to complete the course and triumph against their fiendish enemy.

Series Overview: A swashbuckling series about kid pirates who fight to save their friends from ruthless enemies on the open seas.

Teo Skaffa has lived in many places but currently lives in an abandoned school building in the outskirts of the city of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands. Besides making art, he likes the color pink, synthesizers, and making music with outdated technology under the name A GHOST IN THE WOODS. He does NOT like room-temperature watermelon. He likes drawing creepy-cute atmospheric scenes and characters, and is grateful that he’s able to make a living by drawing, especially since he’s not particularly good at anything else.
