Art Blastside in her third daring adventure upon the high seas. It's been eighteen months since Art's baby was born: a pretty child called Africa, with Felix's dark hair and Art's grey eyes. Now Art, who dreamed of being like her own loving, wonderful Ma, must face up to the fact that she has absolutely no warm feeling for her child. In fact -- Art can't stand her! What's wrong with her? Beyond the family lies an unsettled world too. The French are still waging war, and England has fallen out of love with pirates. Piratomania has been suppressed by the government and Art and Felix are evicted from their cliff-top mansion. The return of Ebad and the new and improved Unwelcome Stranger prompts Art to regroup her ragtag crew and sail once again across the oceans, through wild weather, bizarre places and riotous sea battles, to return to the Treasured Isle and learn the ultimate true secret behind the treasure and the mystery of why Art can't love her child.

Industry Reviews

'... a great adventure ... the language is highly imaginative ... Adults and children alike can become immersed in this complex, distinctive and vividly depicted creation.' -- Reviews '... pirate stories look like being the next big thing. If so, may they all be as much fun as this one, by the Cat's Elbows!' -- Jan Mark, The Guardian 20040501 A glorious roustabout of a tale, full of yummy set pieces and terrific adventures, unbelievable in a most satisfying way. The language is rip-roaring or glides like a seagull, as needed. And the thrilling denouement is romantic as heck. -- Kirkus Review: Starred 20040501 'a rollicking read. Road adventure, sea voyage and treasure hunt in one.' -- Irish Times 20040410 '... a wonderfully rumbustious fantasy that is as clever as it is entertaining.' -- The Independent 20040410 Tanith Lee restores one's faith in fiction as the expression of imagination and original thought. -- The Guardian 20040410
