Chronicles of Egg

Chronicles of Egg series.
Egg rockets from one adventure to the next in this third volume. Relying on his wit and his friends to help him out of some wildly unexpected situations, he finds a treasure (which is disappointing), defeats an enemy pirate (gratifying), frees some Native slaves (disturbing), and reunites with his beloved Millicent (rewarding). Rodkey's fast-paced action and dialogue infuse Egg's tale with energy and humor.

Chronicles of Egg series.
Crossing an ocean, navigating a foreign city, and slashing through a jungle, Egg--along with eclectic friends Guts, Millicent, and Kira--hustles to find an ancient treasure using a map he committed to memory (maybe). Family problems and romantic worries provide additional layers. Rodkey employs a lightly comic touch along with indefatigable adventure in this new volume of Egg's chronicles.

Chronicles 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.
