Breakfast of Scallywags

Imagine that your teacher, Miss Parsnip, (nice, but obsessed with pirates,) planned a field trip to the Crunch & Barley Cereal Factory (boring, plus your dad works there,) and you got stuck in a group with the horrific Barnaby Hootsman? Fay LaFarge is a girl who can handle such a disaster. But she’ll have to make certain the pirate coin that tumbled into her breakfast cereal that morning stays out of the wrong hands--including Barnaby Hootsman’s. Soon Fay wonders if boring wouldn’t be better, as Miss Parsnip’s fascination with pirates gets all too real, and the strange coin turns out to matter more than the average cereal box toy.
