About Long Fin Silver
Product Description Harry Hammer looks for the lost treasure of Long Fin Silver, the greatest pirate of the deep seas, in this ninth Shark School (mis)adventure. Harry Hammer can’t believe his luck! He and his family are going on vacation to Treasure Reef, home of The Lost Treasure of that dastardly, long-ago pirate Long Fin Silver. Legend has it that Long Fin buried the Black Blood Pearl, the most valuable and beautiful gem in the history of the ocean. Harry and his pesky cousin Harvey are on the hunt for treasure, but they best beware of where they look, as they’re about to come fin-to-fin with the spooky spirit of Long Fin Silver himself!

Long Fin Silver “Avast ye, me hearties!!!!!!!!!!!!” I yell as I pounce into my seabedroom and begin searching for my suitcase. “A vast what?” Humphrey my humming-fish alarm clock says, peering at Larry my lantern fish’s rear dorsal. “I wouldn’t say it was vast. Large, maybe. You should cut down on the Kelp Krispies, Larry.” “Hey!” says Larry, angrily flashing his light. “You’re not so slim yourself!” “Shiver me timbers!” I whoop as I tail-swipe a suitcase from under my bed. I bump it open with the right side of my hammerhead and dart over to my drawers. “Don’t you two know what day it is?” “The day you go bonkers?” says Humphrey. “No!” I swim up to them and put one fin over my eye like a patch and wave my tail in their faces like a sword. “It’s the day I’m off to Treasure Reef for our family vacation!” I start pulling clothes from my drawers. “Treasure Reef is the best vacation destination in the whole sea world! It’s like the pirate paradise of the ocean and we’re going there for two weeks! I wish you two could join us, but Dad and Mom said just Ralph could come this time.” Humphrey and Larry just look bored. Ding!!!! That’s me having an idea. I now know exactly how to make the trip to Treasure Reef seem more interesting to them-I’ll make a list! “Number one: LONG FIN SILVER!” I blurt at Humphrey and Larry. “Who?” they both say. “Number one: Long Fin Silver was the greatest pirate of the seas!” “Greatest parrot?” says Larry. “No! Pirate!” “Oh, I thought you meant one of those funny-faced parrot fish,” says Larry. “NO! Number one: Long Fin Silver was the meanest villain of the low seas! He rode his poop-decked submarine, the Barracuda . . . . Why are you laughing?” “Keep going!” says Humphrey, holding his fin to his side as he giggles. “Why have you stopped?” Larry giggles. “You’re both laughing because I said ‘poop’ aren’t you?” The two fish nod and roll onto their backs. Bubbles of laughter stream from their mouths. “A poop deck is a special deck at the back of a pirate submarine where the captain stands and commands his pirates as they attack ships to steal their treasure!” “Are you sure it’s not where they put the toilet?” Humphrey is barrel rolling now, bumping into Larry and sending him spinning across the room. “So, I suppose you don’t want me to tell you about the legend of the lost treasure, then?” Humphrey and Larry stop mid-giggle. “Treasure?” they both say, floating the right way up. “Number one: Before he died, Long Fin Silver is said to have-” “Why do you keep saying number one?” Larry interrupts. “Because I’m trying to give you a list!” I sigh. “Number one: Before he died, Long Fin Silver is said to have buried the Black Blood Pearl somewhere on Treasure Reef . . . .” “The Black Blood Pearl?” Humphrey’s eyes are as wide as starfish pies. “What’s that?” “The most valuable and
