Summary
A terribly shy orphan living on an island transforms himself, falls in love, and defeats a gang of ruffian pirates with the help of tingleberry ice cream and other unusual objects
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Saracen Hobday lives a quiet, peaceful life until the day his Granny, a detective, rushes off in pursuit of the dreaded pirate Grudge-Gallows. Left alone, Saracen falls in love, twice, makes a fortune from a newly discovered plant, and defeats a gang of ruffian pirates...all because of tingleberry ice cream, the tuckertub plant, and a solid gold telephone! "Another rollicking adventure from the versatile Mahy, this is filled with zany characters, hilarious situations, and action." -Booklist
