Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by Hannah on June 15, 2019

This is maybe my fave from the original trilogy. It is (like the other two) powered by nostalgia and would maybe get another rating if it wasn't for that, but it is still amusing and absurd. The family is on the one hand a hell of a bunch and I can't imagine how exhausting it has to be for poor Eddi......more
