Review: Adventure and Antics on the High Seas
Rating: 4 out of 5

Erik Burke's life changes completely after he finds a black lace bra in the glove compartment of their car. His mother moves them out of Texas - away from his traitorous father, his friends and his beloved baseball - to South Carolina. After Erik meets the strange twins, Star and Stormy Night, his life changes even more. Soon he is off on a high seas adventure to solve the unresolved issues of three ghosts; a pirate, a blockade runner, and a cat. Erik's motivation is to help the ghosts so that they will in turn help him get back to Texas by scaring his mom out her wits and out of South Carolina!I especially enjoyed the relationship between Erik and Star Night. It was just on the cusp of friendship and young love and it felt very genuine to me.  With Erik's entertaining inner monologue and the antics of Storm and Dixie the ghost cat, I think this book has a lot of boy appeal. And of course every good story offers girl appeal, too. Recommend for those who like ghosts stories, pirates or stories about friendship.
