The Barracuda class at The Pirate Academy, run by The Pirate Federation, is excited to start Year 5. 12yo Jacoby is devastated when Wing, his best friend and roommate of the last four years, is headed away with his family. Then a new boy, Neo shows up the same day and Jasmine’s family didn’t even show up for family day. Strange things are happening, including the appearance of a new pirate group, The League of True Pirates is trying to take everything The Pirate Federation is working for.
Danger and betrayal await Jacoby and the other Barracudas. While Pirate books aren’t necessarily a high demand topic, they still have a degree of interest for students looking for an adventure. The action is actually set in a future Earth where the polar icecaps have melted.
