I’d be going for the Doritos, too.

Why is the colorization so different between the 2 carpet pythons?

Part 8–Bastian and the Albatross Treasure is a breakneck, heart-filled adventure bursting with pirate battles, betrayal, and unbelievable wonders. It’s perfect for anyone who dreams of charting their own course—and fighting like there's no tomorrow, for the place they call home.

Part 7–She holds the key to defeating her uncle’s cruel plot, but trusting Bastian may cost her everything.

Will Bastian outwit Mud Beard, survive a battle of magic and wits with the witch doctor Tularon, and rescue his island before it’s too late? Or will Marie Galante fall for good?

Part 6–Everyone wants the treasure, but only Bastian knows what’s at stake if he doesn’t find it first.

Back on dry land, Elena—Bastian’s clever crush and the niece of Don Flaco—guards her own dangerous secret.

part 5 —Mud Beard isn’t your run-of-the-mill villain; with a fortune-teller’s blue crystal in hand, he always seems a step ahead. Soon Bastian—plus his feathered sidekick, Zwazo—are marooned with cannibals, squaring off with a sorcerer rumored to turn kids into giant lizards.

Part 4–When Bastian signs on as crew, he expects hard work. He doesn’t expect a hurricane, an injured albatross who becomes his loyal companion, or to wake the greed of the most dangerous pirate to haunt these waters: Mud Beard.

Part 3–But then Bastian stumbles onto the impossible: a map to hidden treasure, lost with his father’s sunken ship. Gold that could buy back the land and, maybe, set things right—for everyone. Only catch? The Caribbean is swarming with storms and stalked by cutthroat pirates.

Part 2–The greedy Don Flaco’s got the islanders in his grip, snapping up farmland and turning honest folks into servants. If Bastian doesn’t act, his home will dry up for good.
