The Unsinkable Walker Bean
Aaron Renier
|
|
|
He's pudgy, bespectacled, mild, and meek... and very much a geek. The last thing colonial amateur inventor, Walker Bean, ever wanted to do was attempt a rip-roaring pirate adventure.
But his beloved story-telling grandfather is deathly sick—all because of a pearl skull his grandfather dared to look at. According to Grandpa, the skull was made by two lobster-like merwitches, Tartessa and Remora, who live deep in a trench at the bottom of the sea. The only
|
way to break their curse is to return the skull. Since Walker's father would surely sell it, it's up to Walker to get the job done!
He stows away on a ship, but how does he get it to go where he wants it to go? In short time, this amateur inventor turns the ship into a proto-type all terrain vehicle, and the captain is fooled by a large canvas that depicts Walker's night sky.
