THE CAPTAIN OF BATTERY PARK
"Readers will feel as if they've eaten a whole box of chocolates."
School Library Journal
High above the commotion of New York City in a loft in Greenwich Village, a seafaring veterinarian lives. Dr. Kidd has a black beard, a gold earring, and an infamous ancestor. He also has a love of animals--particularly birds--that sets him to scheming some private piracy of his own. Into his scheme stumble Melanie, who is twelve and crazy about birds; Kik, an injured Arctic tern; Prince Andre, an outspoken parrot; Dr. Bones and his son Jimmy; and a closet full of penguins. (Occasionally available).
