Hop on for an exciting adventure with pirates and monkeys with Captain Inkbeard and the Treasure of Monkey Island by Allie Compeau. Captain Inkbeard is an octopus. He is also the most ingenious pirate in all the seven seas and commander of the pirate ship, the Coral Conqueror. Inkbeard and his crew set off on a mission to find the treasure buried on Monkey Island. The only problem is the monkeys aren't too keen to allow the pirates to steal their treasure. After Inkbeard and his crew help the monkeys get rid of the monster in the lake, they welcome another member into their crew, Solly the Salamander. They must make a deal to help the monkeys and the pirates get what they want.
Sometimes, what we want and need are two different things. That's the primary lesson at the end of Captain Inkbeard and the Treasure of Monkey Island. Allie Compeau's adventure story is a blast to read, featuring some jolly pirates led by a hilariously outspoken captain. The characters are vibrant, with little quirks that make them distinct and fun to read. Inkbeard may remind you of Captain Barbosa from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I especially enjoyed his dialogue and relationship dynamics with the crew members of the Coral Conqueror. This fantasy adventure story is bound to be loved by children below the age of ten and even some adults who enjoy pirate adventure tales.
