Matthew is back! This time he’s teamed up with the silliest gang of water-fearing pirates that ever roamed the dry seas. But when they’re captured by a desperate band of midnight librarians, they either have to pay their overdue fines or walk the plank. Only Matthew’s quick thinking can save the day.
