by Michael J. Degrow (Author)
One-Eyed Willie is back! Only this time, he returns as a living, breathing, young teen who teams up with his sixteenth-century pals on an amazing adventure on the high seas. Willie and his friends, Thumbs, Tolliver and Twig, find themselves unwitting passengers on a pirate ship and ultimately on a quest to find Magellan's body - and the magnificent treasure rumored to be buried with him.
Accompany these young buccaneers in their daring exploits as they encounter man-eating creatures, malevolent ghostly specters, fierce pirates, and a diabolical island chief bent on their destruction. Follow their funny mishaps and challenges as they make their way through a long, treacherous sea voyage and come to grips with adversity with the aid of Maia, an exceedingly clever island girl.
Before the End will challenge the notion that One-Eyed Willie was the ruthless pirate he was once made out to be - but rather, paint a picture of a young boy finding courage, honor and virtue on his journey toward manhood.
