[DOWNLOAD] Dead Calm, Bone Dry (Caribbean Chronicles) (Volume 2) by Eddie Jones ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

There is a newer edition of this item: see the link above. Ricky faces a battle with pirates - both dead and alive - where the destiny of the living and those yet-to-be born hang in the balance. Last winter Ricky Bradshaw was just another gangly freshman hoping to fit in -- or at least not get picked on -- and maybe catch the attention of Becky Nance, a girl in his biology class. Except sometimes Ricky "zones out" in class because he has absence seizures. If you've never heard of absence seizures, that's okay. A lot of people haven't. Ricky's teachers are a lot of those people.And that's what happened to Ricky last Christmas Eve: he had an episode. When he snapped out of it, Ricky was shirtless, wet, and on a raft in the middle of the Caribbean Sea being chased by pirates -- one of whom looked like Mr. Clawson, Ricky's English teacher. He concocted a plan to get back home, but in pirate land Ricky learns some things are worse than being unpopular in high school. MUCH worse. * Like you can get cursed to sail with pirates. * Like being captured and tried for piracy. * Like being found guilty of piracy and sentenced to hang. * Like finding out the governor's daughter whom you promised to help -- and who looks almost exactly like Becky Nance from your biology class -- no longer wants anything to do with you. * Like finding out that the crew of the Flying Dutchman think you have signed your body over to them as "cargo" and now the Sargent of Arms (not to mention legs, thumbs, eyes, and ears) is after you. * Like finding out your cell mate in the brig thinks he's William Shakespeare and will not shut up about how he invented the three act structure. * Like finding out you are in ____ (a really, really bad place) and actually _____ (not in great shape, living-wise). And that is only some of what happens to Ricky as he skippers the Dead Calm, Bone Dry towards Coffin Cay where there is rumored to be more gold and silver and jewels than any boy in high school could ever want or imagine.Dead Calm, Bone Dry is a Directors' Choice FinalistWritten for the General Market (G) (I): Contains no; sexual dialogue or strong language.
