Overwhelmed, the boy takes to the beach and runs away, hoping to leave his worries far behind. That's when he meets Johnny, an islander descended from pirates. At first, Pedro is frightened by Johnny's imposing appearance and brusque manners.

Because sometimes, like Pedro, you have to lose yourself to find yourself. Authorized Dealer Ships Fast From The USA Stock Photo - Actual Cover May Vary Hassle-Free 30 Day Returns
