Atticus Van Tasticus

1750, when times were tough and teeth were rotten. As part of an ancient family tradition, young Atticus Van Tasticus narrowly avoids a life down the coal mines - or worse, going to school - when he gets to choose the gift of a pirate ship from his Grandnan's treasure pile. It's a choice that will change the course of history - well, okay, his story, at least. Atticus pulls together a ragtag bunch misfits - ahem - a tough, brilliant crew and sets out to wreak havoc - I mean, live a piratin' life.

Atticus Van Tasticus is back. And this time he means business. Having escaped certain disaster on the high seas, he's on the scent of treasure. Then the call comes from above: 'Ship ahoy, Captain, ship ahoy!' If only it were good news, which of course it ain't. Vicious, mean and mighty unclean Bjorn Ironhead is on the warpath - and Atticus and his crew are in his sights. Stay and fight, or run and hide? But where do you hide a pirate ship, and who's this Captain Half Map, and, most of all, where's that treasure of treasures?

With the Map of Half Maps finally in the hands of Atticus and his crew, the rest should be easy, right? Wrong! Rattling skeletons, ghosts, monsters from the deep, killer sands and a boiling hot tub are just some of the obstacles between them and certain treasure!
