About the Book:
The first book in the Wave Walker series, this novel follows 14-year-old Jolly, named for pirate flag the Jolly Roger, who lives aboard a ship with a crew of pirates who adopted her. What makes Jolly so special (and also what makes her a valuable asset to her Captain) is that she is a Polliwog - a human with the ability to walk on water, and she believes she's the only one left.
Enter 14-year-old Munk, a Polliwog who also believes he's the last one left. The son to scared parents, Munk has led an isolated life on a secluded island, his parents fearing for him as pirates would kill to possess a Polliwog.
When Jolly washes up on his island after her ship is attacked, she and Munk are thrown together and join the crew of a ghost ship called the Ghost Trader. They discover that their world is threatened by the return of the mysterious Maelstrom, and they are the only ones who can stop it.
