In the third installment of the Eddie Dickens saga, Eddie, our steadfast hero, finds himself en route to North America aboard the sailing ship Pompous Pig along with a cargo hold full of left shoes, the world-famous Dog's Bone Diamond, and some of the most disreputable traveling companions anyone might have the misfortune to share a berth with. A mysterious stowaway and some familiar faces from Eddie's past only complicate matters, as does being tied up and set adrift in a leaky rowboat. Will Eddie ever reach America?

"Terribly silly, great fun. What can I say? Any book with mad old relatives and stuffed stoats is bound to be a good read really. Perfect for all ages, physical and mental."

" I read the first 2 books so I figured I should finish the trilogy and read the 3rd. It was alright, worth reading, but I'm not going out to buy the series for my collection. These books could become a fun movie. "
— Renee, 12/28/2013" Read a bit like a Snicket take-off, but it was still a fun series. "
— Caroline, 12/23/2013" in a word... HAHAHAHAHA! "
— Veronica, 11/26/2013" This was like the two before it in terms of being stupidly hilarious! It is a great book to laugh out loud, as I did many times. Very random humor from cover to cover. "
— Gretchen, 10/12/2013" I thought this book was a Terrible Time of reading. It is about a kid named Eddie Dickens who lost his grandmother and diamonds on a ship. It was the most boring book I have ever read. That's what I thought of that terrible waste of time people call a book! "

— Heidi, 7/22/2012" A cute story for a younger reader, but I didn't think it was as good as the second volume of the trilogy. "
— Devi, 2/27/2012" this last book finishes off the story of eddie dickens whose journey was really hilarious in my opinion. i think this book to me was more funnier than the past previous two books. the pictures was also funny and help explain the plot by a little which is still ok. "

— Gretchen, 4/21/2009" Another funny installation of the Eddie Dickens series. <br/>In this book, Eddie sails to America and has to deal with one of the escaped convicts from the second volume and the theft of a diamond. <br/>This one was not quite as good as the first two, but still very funny. "
