Junior: High Intermediate: Average SUMMARY: As the story begins, Jolly is demonstrating her hidden talents in a battle at sea, but things soon turn ugly. Her entire adopted pirate family is slaughtered by a mysterious plot, and Jolly herself barely escapes. She is rescued by a family of plantation owners on a nearby, almost deserted island, thanks to their young son, Munk, who finds Jolly washed up on shore. Munk and Jolly are just happily
getting acquainted when the enemy that has stalked Jolly's pirate family
arrives on the island to finish the job. The two teens escape, thanks
to some skills Munk hasn't revealed up until now -- including the fact
that he, too, is a pollywog. Munk's parents aren't as lucky, however.
Wracked by grief, Munk and Jolly vow revenge against the evil that has
taken their loved ones. They are helped in their plans by the mysterious
Ghost Trader and his legion of trained ghost slaves, as well as some new
friends they meet along the way. Unfortunately, as the story progresses,
it becomes clear that this is only the start of the slaughter. A force
unlike anything ever seen before is coming to destroy life and the world
as they know it...and only Jolly and Munk, the Wave-Walkers, are standing
in its way... WHO
