description: Twelve-year-old Brine Seaborne is a girl with a past--if only she could remember what it is. Found alone in a rowboat as a child clutching a shard of the rare starshell needed for spell-casting she's spent the past years keeping house for an irritable magician and his obnoxious apprentice Peter.When Brine and Peter get themselves into a load of trouble and flee they blunder into the path of the legendary pirate ship the Onion. Before you can say pieces of eight they're up to their necks in the pirates' quest to find Magical North a place so shrouded in secrets and myth that most people don't even think it exists. If Brine is lucky she may find out who her parents are. And if she's unlucky everyone on the ship will be eaten by sea monsters. It could really go either way.
