When Squizzard makes up games, he is always the hero and Toothy is always the sidekick. He never listens or admits he's wrong, and one day he pushes Toothy too far.

When a silly prank lands Squizzard in deep trouble, he comes down with a case of the barnacle blues.

But there just may be hidden treasures to discover if Squizzard can stop all the funny business long enough to find them... Available in softcover and hardcover editions.
