About this ebook
The third book in the unique Spin to Survive series takes you centuries into the past and onto the high seas, where you will cross swords with swashbuckling scoundrels and mutinous marauders.
Your father, the good-hearted pirate Captain Samuel Swift, has entrusted you with his cutlass and the tattered map leading to his buried treasure. But this is the Caribbean in the 18th century; danger is on the horizon, just below the surface, and perhaps even on board your very own ship...
Will you head out to search for the treasure, sign on with a crew of pirate-hunters, or embark on the riskiest course of all: joining forces with the pirates who betrayed your father?
With your trusty Survival Spinner (included), make your choice and spin to survive. Flip back and forth through the book as you play through a new adventure with every read, where each scenario might lead to certain death, fame and fortune, or any number of unexpected surprises. On every page, explore a lawless world where ruthless colonizers clash with oceanic outlaws and loyalty is bought for a few pieces of eight. Discover tips for surviving at sea, and put the story in context with historical facts and illustrations.

About the author
Emily Hawkins is an award-winning author who has written more than 40 books for children. Her work combines a curiosity about history and the natural world with a love of myth, folklore, and storytelling. Her best-known books include Oceanology, which appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, and A Natural History of Fairies, illustrated by Jessica Roux, which has been translated into sixteen languages. She is the author of the much-loved Spin to Survive adventure series, and the Lost Atlases books of myths and legends. Emily spent much of her childhood searching for ghosts, and she's still looking. She lives in rural Hampshire, England, with her husband and two daughters.
R. Fresson makes illustrations that nod to the past. She hand-draws in pen and ink, then colours digitally, inspired by the print processes of early 20th century comics and magazines. Her line-work is lodged in the ligne-claire style, made famous by Hergé, Joost Swarte, Bob de Moor and Theo van den Boogaard among many others. Humour is an important aspect to R. Fresson's work and she continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic, working with clients including the New York Times, Monocle, The Guardian, GQ and The New Yorker.
