THE TREACHEROUS SEAS

Continuing the alt-history age-of-invention adventure series

In the first book, A DASTARDLY PLOT, Molly, Emmett, and their friends saved the world from the evil genius Rector and his mind control space rocks! But Rector got away, and now it's up to our heroes to find him.

After saving the world by thwarting Ambrose Rector's dastardly plot, Molly Pepper and Emmett Lee thought they'd have it made. They were heroes, after all. But if someone saves the world and there's no one around who remembers it, did it really happen?

Now Molly, Emmett, and Molly's mother, Cassandra, are left to prove themselves once again. And they aim to do it with an achievement that no one could ignore or forget: winning the race that has captured the attention of the world, to be the first people to find the South Pole. But despite their one-of-a-kind ship and their can-do attitude, the path to the Pole is not without its challenges--or its dangers. It is the path Emmett's father took when he led an expedition to Antarctica--the expedition in which Mr. Lee and his entire crew were killed. Does death await our heroes on these treacherous seas?

Brimming with Christopher Healy's brand of wacky humor, THE TREACHEROUS SEAS is an action-packed, fun-filled adventure that takes readers from the skyscrapers of New York City to the sunny islands of the Caribbean to the frozen tundra of Antarctica, where a strange new world lurks below the surface of the ice...
