Nelly and Valle are at sailing school. They’ve spent several days hoisting sails and cruising across the bay when they hear about a ghost ship with a pirate who is hollering curses. It’s said to be Captain Bluebeard haunting the waters! Will the monster agents’ three C’s – calm, cleverness, and cunning – be enough to stop the pirate from spooking the waters near the sailing school? Nelly and Valle soon realize that they might have to add a fourth C to have a shot at defeating the ghostly pirate.

A funny, scary, and easy-to-read story for beginner readers. Nelly Rapp and Captain Bluebeard is the fourteenth stand-alone installment in Martin Widmark’s cozy-spooky series about monster agent Nelly Rapp, now with new illustrations rich in color and full of humor by Emil Maxén.
