This is one of my favorite childhood books. I like to reread them every so often, and now that I'm an adult and can safely say I have grown my literary taste a lot since I was 12, I can say the concepts and characters are really good, but the quality of the writing is a little too dumbed down. Still a great middle-grade, light read though.

Another series by Jacques that I love! If you love sea stories, this is the one for you! The main character and the dog are just amazing characters, the story is original and it leaves you with a lethargic feeling after reading this book.

I didn't dislike this book, but it was a bit of a struggle to finish. I didn't find either the story or the characters really compelling, nor did I feel the book was particularly creative.
A great start to a series. Ben and Den are castaways of the infamous Flying Dutchman, see how it occurs and how it affects their lives. I found the second half far more intriguing and holding more interesting story but at the same time the growth of the two characters have them stealing into your heart wanting to know more and more adventures and seeing more of their lives as time goes on. A great start to a series that promises to be great fun.

Castaways of the Flying Dutchman (Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, #1) by Brian Jacques – If your kid liked the Pirates of the Carribean, this is like kid Will Turner adventures! Happy Reading!
Excellent book for teenagers, and older who like reading adventure books for kids.
Scary, in the good Brian Jacques way, not too safe, but reliable, in the good Brian Jacques way, nothing too traumatic happens, and everything is said in a way that makes one feel good about it.
This is a story of the adventures of Neb or Ben and his dog companion Denmark, or Ned.
Neb is a boy without a past. He is mute and was thrown into the sea, and then fished up by the cook of the Flying Dutchman, and named Nebuchadnezzar. Neb feeds a hungry young dog, barely more than a pup, and the youngsters stay together from that time.
The crew of the Flying Dutchman is horrible, and so during a storm, an angel is sent to punish them, and the Flying Dutchman is doomed. Neb and Den are innocent, so the angel rescues them, and gives them a gift - a speech - and a mission - to wander around the world to help victims of horrible people.
In this book, there are two adventures of the boy and the dog. The first one is more of a coming-of-age story, where he is healed from the Flying Dutchman experience. The second one is a mystery, where they are finding clues and treasures. Very nice. :-D
