He's also completely alone - or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. It seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship's parrot. As it happens, they are not alone for long. As can be expected from Terry Pratchett, this new children's novel is both witty and wise, while being extremely funny.Summary: 12 yrs+
