(4) 4-6 Something Wickedly Weird series. Stanley Buggles's third outing is--surprisingly--a letdown compared to his first two adventures. After an opening recap, a new batch of villainous pirates rise from watery graves to steal the Ibis...and then take forever to arrive. Appealingly bizarre, just-scary-enough details help distract from a profusion of plot conveniences (too many things appear exactly when needed).
