      About This Book

      From the author of Tuck Everlasting, her first novel in twenty-five years!

      Jack Plank has left his pirate shipmates and gone ashore. Each day he sets out from Mrs. DelFresno''s boarding house to look for a new job. Each evening he returns to regale the other borders with the story of his job search plus a tall tale from his life as a pirate to explain why that particular job wouldn''t be suitable. For who would want to work where there might be a troll, or the danger of getting a crab permanently caught in your beard? Or what about a treacherous, music-loving crocodile?
