A much afeared Portsmouth pirate ship, frozen in an arctic storm 300 years ago, has melted due to global warming and is now running amok. What's the connection to the disappearance of the young Alexander and the goblins from the Old Book Shop in Petersfield who were supposed to be watching over him? Alexander's Mum takes on the goblin search. Book 2 in the Alexander goblinsearch stories can be enjoyed without reading book 1.
