REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

What a fun adventure this is! We meet Max who is almost fourteen. He has led a very sheltered life due to a health condition that keeps him home and inside more then anything else. His dad foes missing with no clues to what happened to him and then his mom declares they are taking a trip on a ship with Spice Pirates only to go missing herself the morning they are set to leave. Thankfully Captain Cinn is willing to help him find her which is where the adventure begins. They travel across the seas running into danger and unlikely alliances along with plenty of surprise secrets. Makes for a fantastic adventure that readers are sure to enjoy leading to a cliff hanger ending that has you wanting more. A great start to a new series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
