Swash! is a great yarn, a rip-roaring adventure story on a little (new) island off the Cape called The Rump, by the locals. It centers around Chris, a likable teenager, who makes a pretty big find on the beach of his town that changes his summer, at the very least. Myers has written some great characters and scenes, something for which I was more than willing to suspend my disbelief in the interest of a good tale. The writing is pretty crisp and the story sails along and is all knotted up in the end fairly neatly. It was a great way to spend a few hours. ( )

What ultimately became of Hornblossom, and where he was buried, remains, to this day, a mystery.
