4-6Chronicles of Egg series.
Egbert and his loathsome family live on a pirate-infested island. When his father discovers a legendary treasure map, the whole family faces deadly encounters with pirates and the influential Roger Pembroke. By chance, Egbert avoids disappearing with his family only to be doggedly pursued by Pembroke. Romance, humor, adventure, and the high seas figure prominently in this strong series opener.
