Mutinous Miles and the Deathly Tunnels

Hunting kraken from balloon ships is something James Darkling only dreams about. He's never traveled by floating castle, or plundered shipwrecks, or sought treasure with a giant buccaneer.

All he knows is school, books, and tests.

But when he is elected to compete in a pirate's trial South of Antarctica, his wildest dreams become reality. He is taken to a place of unbelievable wonder and danger where he finds not only friends, pirating sports, and baby krakens to raise, but a future as the greatest pirate alive, just as long as he can stay alive . . .
