Hudson’s Piratey Summer
by Mason Bell
Description
Twelve-year-old Hudson Boone thought his summer in sleepy South Texas would be boring—until he discovers a centuries-old pirate map in his grandmother’s attic. But this isn’t just any map—it’s cursed. One moment he’s in his backyard; the next he’s hurled into the golden age of piracy, face-to-face with cutthroat buccaneers, cunning mermaids, and a ghost captain who will stop at nothing to claim the treasure.
Armed with nothing but his wits, a talking parrot, and a few dubious allies, Hudson must survive sea battles, escape shark-infested waters, and outsmart a legendary pirate before the tide—and time—runs out. Perfect for fans of The One and Only Ivan meets Pirates of the Caribbean, this fast, funny, and fearless tale is pure summer-reading gold.
