The Adventures of John Blake: Mystery of the Ghost Ship by Philip Pullman

5.0

Holy. Moly. If you miss the action-packed, scenery-laden, time-traveling pirate-adjacent girl-powered mystery adventure Philip Pullman of The Golden Compass, you are in for a TREAT. The Mary Alice is a ghost ship that travels under a pall of dense fog. It has been sighted all over the world... for centuries. Governments, scholars, and powerful men are obsessed with finding her. But why? And when a young Australian girl is swept overboard on a trip with her parents, WHO picks her up but the crew of this odd and ancient schooner!

What a great yarn, and marvelous, crystal-clear art to go with it.
