From the award-winning creators of The Little Eskimo, and the acclaimed author of The Enemy, a story of the journey a boy goes on when his father doesn't come home When I was a child, my father went away. He came home only once a year, in the summer for two weeks. He smelled of the sea, my father. That's because he was . . . A great pirate. The amazing stories Dad tells of life with his pirate crew fire up his young son's imagination. But then, one year, Dad doesn't return home. Now it's his son's turn to make an amazing journey of his own--to find his father. Soon he will discover a secret beyond anything he has imagined so far.
