Charlie Green and the Pirate's Treasure – Martyn Blunden

Product description

Martyn is the author of two aircraft technical guides for pilots and has now published his first full-length fiction novel for children. He has written numerous newsletters for the flight school where he has taught for over fifteen years, which normally includes humour as well as technical details – light hearted anecdotes to put a point across without being too serious. A second book is well underway with more to follow as Charlie, his siblings, and his friend George discover amazing adventures to go on in the magical aeroplane – Jenny. Voyages back in time and fantastic tales of discovery wait for them when they dive into history and discover journey’s that were, only a short while before, beyond their imagination.

Charlie Green is a courageous, good-natured 11-year-old, who lives with his mother, older brother and little sister. After moving to a new house next to a disused airfield, he ignores his mother's strict orders to stay well away and convinces his brother to join him in his exploration. There, in one of the dilapidated hangars, they find a secret aeroplane with magical abilities. The previous owner of their new home, Oliver, mysteriously disappeared many years before and left behind his special transport. Due to a mistake, he is actually stuck in the past, onboard a sailing ship in the 17th century. He is now on a quest to find a treasure map belonging to the infamous pirate Captain William Kidd, but how successful his plans for finding the treasure will be all depends on the ingenuity of the Green siblings... Their new home holds many secrets, but will they discover them in time to rescue Oliver from the clutches of the bloodthirsty pirates?
