The Adventures of Captain Ed Roger J Erdely

Becka and Martin are very different people. Becka is bold, and confident, while Martin is quiet and guarded, but they have one thing in common---their love for ancient wooden sailing ships. By chance the two teens meet at a theme park where a replica of a sixteenth century ship is on display. Their knowledge of sailing ships amazes the other visitors, and brings them together. They explore every nook and cranny of the ship, and dream the same dream---to actually sail a ship---to adventure. But that's impossible. Or is it? Becka discovers there is another old ship on the island, AND it takes kids out on a one day cruise---for free. But the ship is more legend than real, and rarely seen. Becka is undaunted, and with Martin's help, and a little magic to guide them, they find the magical ship, The Merry Belle. With their parents' blessing, Becka and Martin sail thru a strange purple mist, and into---the past. A past time, where sailing ships rule the waves, and magical creatures, strange islands, and pirates abound. They will have to stay together, and keep each other safe to make it back home again. But what could possibly happen? It was ONLY a one day cruise!
