The Last Voyage of the Dan-D

by E. B. Alston


The Last Voyage of the Dan-D takes nine year old Alex out to sea on a magical journey on Captain Dan’s creaky old boat, the Dan-D. Dialog between the two is lively, witty, whimsical, and comical to the point of hilarity. They experience unexpected situations where the two of them work to extricate themselves from all of the difficulties they encounter including getting lost and discovering a new island off the North Carolina coast. And when they finally return to Topsail Island, the mystery has only begun! It is a delightful, witty, hilarious story with a touch of mystery and will be enjoyed by both children and adults.


Reviews :-


“This story has a nice voice and a simple, kid-friendly tone. It’s also a very funny story, with a wickedly wacky, but oddly logical humor. Captain Dan’s stories, his many names, and Alex’s reactions to it all are hilarious; Alex and Captain Dan are distinctive, highly original characters who should enthrall kid readers. The silliness should enthrall kids. The mysterious ending is a neat twist. The humor makes this story especially nice for being read aloud.” The Writer’s Digest, April 5, 2005
