Publisher's summary

In the third installment of the Eddie Dickens saga, Eddie, our steadfast hero, finds himself en route to North America aboard the sailing ship Pompous Pig along with a cargo hold full of left shoes, the world-famous Dog's Bone Diamond, and some of the most disreputable traveling companions anyone might have the misfortune to share a berth with. A mysterious stowaway and some familiar faces from Eddie's past only complicate matters, as does being tied up and set adrift in a leaky rowboat. Will Eddie ever reach America?

Critic reviews

"Like its predecessors, this quirky read, set in Victorian England, blends zany story lines and oddball characters with abundant, reader-directed digressions and commentary." (Booklist)

My favorite since childhood

I picked up this book off of our AR reading bookshelf in the 5th grade and now a 22 year old college student I still revisit this series everyone and then a timeless ageless tale that is guaranteed to make anyone laugh
