Deadweather and Sunrise: The Chronicles of Egg, Book 1
by Geoff RodkeyPublished May 29th 2012 by Putnam Juvenile
A stunning middle-grade debut–full of heart, humor, and nonstop action
It’s tough to be thirteen, especially when somebody’s trying to kill you.
Not that Egg’s life was ever easy, growing up on sweaty, pirate-infested Deadweather Island with no company except an incompetent tutor and a pair of unusually violent siblings who hate his guts.
But when Egg’s father hustles their family off on a mysterious errand to fabulously wealthy Sunrise Island, then disappears with the siblings in a freak accident, Egg finds himself a long-term guest at the mansion of the glamorous Pembroke family and their beautiful, sharp-tongued daughter Millicent. Finally, life seems perfect.
Until someone tries to throw him off a cliff.
Suddenly, Egg’s running for his life in a bewildering world of cutthroat pirates, villainous businessmen, and strange Native legends. The only people who can help him sort out the mystery of why he’s been marked for death are Millicent and a one-handed, possibly deranged cabin boy.
Come along for the ride. You’ll be glad you did.

Deadweather and Sunrise sound like so much fun. Must check it out. 🙂
The Chronicles of Egg (I adore his name) looks like a fun and adventurous series — added to my TBR list!
