Vanessa Jane and the Hidden Pirate Ship
By Martha Russel
Length5h 37m
About this audiobook
A ripped library page. A secret tunnel under school. And a pirate ship that shouldn't exist.
In Port Townsend, Vanessa and her tiny Yorkshire terrier puppy, Bruno, stumble onto a clue that leads straight into trouble—an underground path marked with strange symbols, clever traps, and a mystery no grown-up would ever believe. With her best friend Liam (and Bruno’s nose), Vanessa follows the trail to something impossible: an ancient pirate ship hidden beneath their town.
But they’re not the only ones searching.
A calm, dangerous stranger with keys to places he shouldn’t enter is hunting the ship’s lost logbook—because it doesn’t just tell a pirate story. It holds proof that a powerful “town hero” betrayed Captain Maribel Drake long ago… and the truth was hidden in plain sight for over a century.
Now Vanessa, Bruno, and Liam must race through tunnels, library stacks, and even the clock tower itself—before the Crooked Crow steals the evidence and buries Port Townsend’s secrets forever.
