Pirates of the Great Lakes
by Tim Kochenderfer

  The year is 1782, and Johann Andreas' family business on the shores of Lake Huron is in trouble. (For some reason, nobody wants to stay at "Andreas Wasp infested Inn.")

Luckily for Johann, Captain Short Fuse Composure arrives on the scene, having been stranded by a band of pirates who mistook Michigan for an island. In his possession is a treasure map, and he promises Johann a share of the loot if he can assemble a crew and reach the treasure in advance of his arch-rival, the dreaded
Burgundy Beard.

Between dealing with Captain Short Fuse Composure's fear of North Atlantic Sea Tigers, an idiotic crew, and a complete lack of knowledge about the sea, will it be possible for Johann to find the treasure, get the girl, charm her father, stop tripping over things and save his family business?
