Jack Jones discovers he's the heir to a pirate curse when pirates take over the bodies of his neighbors and family. It's up to Jack, Jack's friend Rachel, and a talking parrot to defeat the pirates. The story itself drags, but readers will be entertained by Jack's logical approach to his often-humorous problems.
