Now the odd pair must escape the clutches of the Royal Navy, face a crew of cursed men, and chart a course to an island that cannot be found in order to save Will's beloved and get back something Jack lost long ago...»
Novelization of the Disney film. It's written for children. There is nothing inappropriate. Maybe the pirate skeleton crew can be a little scary to very little children. Even though it does not enter in frightening scenes. It's a brief novel, and sometimes the author skims or summarises some memorable quotes from the film instead of transcribing them exactly word by word. I wish it would have been longer, but after all it's a children's book.
