Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Five-year-old Timmy Calloway has brought home two mysteries from the Saltworld: a sealed ancient bottle and a brass key no one can explain.Now Grandpa and Grandma have come to visit, and Grandpa seems to know more than he is saying. Before long, the Tideline opens again, calling Timmy back to the Morningstar and to Captain Jack Flint, who has found a treasure map with one serious problem.It is backwards.Every landmark points the wrong way. Every direction must be read in reverse. And the X may not mark the treasure at all.As the Morningstar follows the strange map across the Saltworld, Timmy begins to wonder whether some treasures are hidden not because they are lost, but because they are too important to be found by the wrong person. When the crew discovers the wreck of the Saltmere, the First Captain's ancient ship, Timmy finds a compass unlike any other: one that does not point north, but toward something truer.But Admiral Craw and the Ironjaw pirates are closing in. And when the Morningstar is trapped with no way out, Timmy must learn that true direction is not always found on a map.Captain Flint and the Backwards Map is the third adventure in The Tideline Chronicles, a read-aloud fantasy series about wonder, courage, hidden treasure, true north, and the things that never move.
