Now the Spencers have a new ship, the Dragon, and 16-year-old John is elated to be making the new schooner's maiden voyage to London. Not long out to sea, John realizes that the captain and crew of the Dragon are not who they pretended to be.

Leaving a trail of bloodshed and violence, these ruthless pirates have no intention of leaving any witnesses to their crimes. If John is to survive, it will be by his own steady wit and a stroke of good luck.

A SNAPSHOT INTO ROSIE’S LIFEWhen I was about 10 -14 years old, I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries filled with magic. I used to haunt our local library, borrowing anything with a vaguely magical theme. It had to be well-written with a gripping story, action-filled and a page-turner. (My all-time favourite author? C.S.Lewis.) So the seeds were sown. One day I’d write books for 10 – 14 year olds too!The next question: So is this book for boys or girls? The answer: For both! Boys and girls between the ages of 10-14, teens and preteens, have read and loved it; although lots of adults are enjoying it too. If you love a fast-paced fantasy, then THE TIME SMUGGLERS, #2 THE CAMELOT INHERITANCE series could be right for you. I'd be delighted to know what you think of it, so do leave a review on here if you liked it.

The Smuggler's Cave by George A. BirminghamMeant to make easy the task of those who review novels without reading them and to awaken the interest of others who read novels without reviewing them.This is the story of the Hailey Compton Village Pageant.Pageants, good and bad, great and small, were commonplace affairs a few years ago. Every summer half a dozen of them were widely advertised and probably a dozen more ran blameless courses unnoticed except by those who took part in them. They were started by enthusiasts, worked up by energetic committees, kept within the bounds of historic possibility by scholarly experts. They came and went, amused a few people, bored a great many and left not a trace of their brief existence behind them.The Hailey Compton Pageant was staged in a small unimportant village. The people who organised it, the vicar's wife and the local innkeeper, were unknown to fame. It had, at first, no backing in the press except a few paragraphs slipped into provincial papers by Miss Beth Appleby, a young journalist of promise but small attainment. It had, at first, no aristocratic patronage, except the half-hearted support of Sir Evelyn Dent. It began in a casual, almost accidental way.Yet the Hailey Compton Pageant excited England from end to end, set every club in London gossiping, inspired a spate of articles in the daily papers, smirched the reputation of an earl and went near wrecking, at the next General Election, the prospects of a prominent statesman.Such are the tricks which destiny, a sportive imp, plays with human affairs. An elderly gentleman, in search of local colour for a perfectly innocent book, visits a remote village. An energetic lady with a taste for theatricals seizes an opportunity for getting up a show. An innkeeper, civil to every one and anxious to be obliging to all possible patrons, sees a chance of making a little money.What could possibly be less important? Yet out of the activities of these people rose one of the most widely discussed scandals of our time.

An adventure story of four young cousins lost at sea. After a heavy storm breaks their moorings, they wake to find themselves drifting aimlessly with little fuel and few fresh food supplies. Only Joseph, the oldest of the four children knows how to sail and the windless days are spent teaching his little cousins how to survive at sea. On the third day, a steady breeze picks up, so they hoist the sails and head southwards discovering a beautiful but deserted island. With an abundance of fresh food and water, they are confident that they can stay there until the search planes and boats find them. Thankful to be on dry land again, their days are spent fishing, swimming and exploring 'Paradise Island', but are they really alone or is there someone else there?

" Steer clear of that ship, " warns the mysterious gentleman who shares a coach with John and his father. " Death she'll bring you, " says the man.

But he's too charmed by the pretty "Dragon" to heed the advice. The ship looks clever and quick, and John can hardly wait to sail her. She was a smugglers' vessel once, but now she's his Dragon, and she'll proudly carry wool for honest trade. But soon John will be forced to consider the gentleman's warning. And to wonder what he really knows about his bonny crew.
