Kirkus  'An extraordinary book with a riveting plot.' Booklist Two new strangers spend a life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first fateful calls.   It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict death, or is it an elaborate hoax?

Can the worst pirate ever find his way home from the Island of No Return? My stupid brother has tricked me into the worst holiday ever… on the Island of No Return. I’m stuck herewith just a chicken for company unless I can find some treasure – then Blackbeard says he will come and get me (nice of him). All I have to do is follow a treasure map through a jungle full of pirate-eating creatures (no problem), into the deepest, darkest probably-haunted cave (not at all scary, not at all scary, not at all scary) and track down the hidden gold that is so well hidden everyone gets lost trying to find it (perfect). My life is ruined. Signed Pirate Blunderbeard. Pirate Blunderbeard might be on the worst holiday ever but it’s also the funniest - laugh-out-loud fun for readers of 7+
