DAMNIT.WHY DOESN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS. I'M ALWAYS THE LAST ONE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF.
-.-
anyway, I just found out that the author to my favorite book just died.
Brian Jacques, with his 3-book series of Castaways of the Flying Dutchman.
Its sad that he died just last year.
I had hoped to read more books from him.
anyway, I really suggest these books to you guys.
1 Castaways of the Flying Dutchman
2 Castaways of the Flying Dutchman: The Angel's Command
3 Castaways of the Flying Dutchman: Voyage of Slaves
About:
"Ben was a mute, young- teenage boy who was trapped on the Flying Dutchman along with his faithful dog Denmark. When the ship crashed many years ago, the entire crew was turned into a ghost ship except for Ben and Ned, for they were innocent, yet an Angel cursed them to wander the world for all eternity, helping others along the way, and forever running from the Dutchman ship and its captain, Vanderdecken. The angel gave Ben the ability to speak again. Not only speak, but speak and understand every language in the world. He can even understand and talk to his smart dog Ned!
When looking into Ben's eyes, you mysteriously see the ocean's reflection within them, mysterious blue-foggy eyes.
what new adventure awaits them- how fast must they run from the Dutchman this time- what friends will they make and loose within these 3 stories?"
truthfully, I've only read the second and third book, so I should really find the other one. o3o
I've always loved pirate stories.. ;w;
it sucks that Brian couldn't be alive to make more.....
this seriously needs to be made into a movie.
*I know that he's made a bunch of other famous books, but I still like this series the best. :,3

The first Castaways book is the closest to his Redwall style. The first half of the story is their origin, but the second half takes place a few centuries later when they've gained some maturity. They arrive in a small town to help prevent it from being demolished, by (surprise surprise) following riddles to try and discover the deed to the entire town.
That said, it's still quite good and worth the read. There's a lot of fun moments, and the way he describes the Dutchman itself and what happens to Vanderdecken.... it's awesome.
