"[A] high-flying tale of adventure and fortune. The best part? The head
pirate, Captain Redlocks, is a redheaded woman. Oh yes she is.
And she captains the Cutlass, the fastest ship in the skies.
Because not only men can be all swarthy and adventurous
and brandish swords and wear cool black eye patches.
(Does anyone besides me see a hat tip to My Lady's
Cutlass, the female pirate band?) My redheaded
daughter and I think this book should immediately
be made into a movie, since the stunning illustrations
look like anmation and the theme park tie-in is just
too good for Hollywood to pass up. When it comes
out, don't say I didn't tell you so."- Cool Mom Picks

"...kids step right into a fun and beautifully
illustrated adventure...The story looks like an
animated film, and the lively drawings prove
perfect for inspiring little minds. Your child will not
be disappointed by this story; in fact, don't be

over again!" - Mom Central
To Katie, Laura, Sarah
here is your lifetime pass to the wackiest place on earth.
O.C.
For my family without your unending support, enormous sacrifice,

would ever have been possible. I could never thank you enough.
To Alexandra for your incredible patience, love, and guidance
during the making of this book. You are my endless inspiration.

Long ago, in a land not too far away,
a pirate buried a chest of priceless
riches. He marked the spot with
an X and vanished into the mist.
The loot would remain lost until
one of his descendants
returned to claim it.
Now Baltazar enjoyed hearing
such tall tales from his
grandpa. Tell me another
story, he begged.
Ill save the best for
tomorrow, since its past
your bedtime! replied
Grandpa. Good night,
Captain Kidd, and
sweet dreams.
That night the boy dreamt
of a ghostly boat gliding
on the waves of a moonlit
ocean. Suddenly the clock
struck midnight, and he
was rustled out of bed.
"Ahoy there, Matey!
grinned a swashbuckling
rogue. Weve sailed the
seven seas to find you.
Please forgive Mr. Flynn, purred a silken
voice. My name is Redlocks. Im Captain
of the Cutlass, the fastest ship in the skies.
And were the Corsairs! added the bandits outside
Baltazars window, where the Jolly Roger waved proudly.
Youre pirates!
blurted Baltazar.
And youre flying!
Yes, but listen close, whispered
Redlocks. Your great-great
granddad was Greybeard
who hid our fortune.
Luckily we discovered the Fountain
of Youth, and have searched for his
map ever since, said Mr. Flynn.
We just found it, but its
missing the key piece...
...where X marks the spot,
finished Baltazar.
Grandpa told Baltazar this legend from the letters his grandpa had
read to him. The prize lies deep in a swamp, the boy continued.
You have Greybeards cleverness, smiled
Redlocks. Be our guide, and well have
an adventure youll not forget.
The boy agreed, kissed his
brother Henry and sister
Morgan goodbye, and
climbed aboard.
Such a band of brigands, Baltazar never had seen.
Everythings shipshape, Captain, reported Davy Jones.
Baltazar pointed south, so Redlocks commanded, Set sail for the
second star on the right and straight on til morning. The Cutlass
sliced through the sky, and Black Bart gave the boy a tour.
Corts steered the helm. Big Queeg
swabbed the decks. Playing cards
with the twins, Francis and Drake,
Long John Silver grinned, Heres
a piece of eight for ya, Laddie.
However, the boy yawned and
curled in a hammock to sleep.
Dawn crept over the horizon. Atop the crow's nest, Anne Bonney called,
