The Imagination Station #8: Battle for
Cannibal Island
Patrick and Beth are hurled into the South Pacific during the
1840s and take part in a breathtaking search for the mysterious
Starlight Island. The cousins join the clever Scottish pirate hunter
Captain Connor Glenn and the crew of the flagship Saint Andrew's
Lance as they hunt the infamous pirate Captain Tobias Dredd. Their
search leads them to the emerald-green islands of Fiji, where they
attempt to rescue missionary William Cross. But Captain Dredd's
forces attack the island, and Patrick and Cross are kidnapped. Beth
and Captain Glenn must save them, but it's a race against time. And
the only hopes they have of finding the Starlight Island rest in
their trust in God and a broken telescope that just might reveal
more than meets the eye.
