The Kingdom of Huckleberry Jam.
An adventure to tickle the senses as Daniel loses his best friend, Papa…
She stood there as if frozen in time, gazing straight at him; covered from her neck to her feet in a black robe. Just below her wrinkled neck, the robe was pinned together with a sparkling silver half-moon brooch; her green-tinted skin showed signs of decay.
Eyes of a wolf — cunning and flame yellow. Her straw-like hair was infested with lice, while her hooked nose looked like the beak of a hawk. A large black wart sat on top of her upper lip, matching the colour of her teeth, or at least the few she had.”
Admiral Percival Pigeonforge.
Twelve-year-old Daniel James Walker Martin loves listening to his silly and magical Grandpa—whom he calls Papa—tell wild stories about pirates, treasure, and faraway lands.

But this time, something strange happens: Daniel hears a spooky sound that makes him believe the story might be real!

But Admiral Pigeonforge’s dark magic is powerful, and Daniel must face big challenges and even bigger fears. With courage, clever thinking, and the help of his magical friends—and especially Papa—Daniel learns that the greatest treasures in life aren’t gold and jewels, but love, bravery, and believing in yourself.
