Pursued across the Eternal Sea by the Ghoul King, an ancient and very magical ship arrives in the town graveyard. And then things really start to get weird.
Jenny’s first year of high school becomes way more problematic than it already was when a mighty ship that sails the Eternal Sea (and looks suspiciously like an old beat-up bottle you could fit in your backpack) just shows up in her room, sitting on her dresser. This bottle… or ship… believes that Jenny is its long-lost “Captain.” Even though she isn’t. Or at least she doesn’t think she is.
Whether Jenny is really the Captain or not, she’ll need to figure out how to be a hero really fast. Because the Ghoul King has followed this magic bottle across the Eternal Sea and now he is here, hiding in the town graveyard. If he gets his hands on the mighty ship, many worlds will fall. Now it’s up to Jenny, along with her little brother, Jed, his dumb dog, and Jenny’s best friend Ethan (who for some tragic reason is now super-mean sophomore Isabel Warner’s boyfriend).
Just so you know, none of this is Jenny’s fault. Because honestly, if you ever wondered about your sweet old grandmother’s mysterious past, your first guess probably wouldn’t be “maybe Gramma was sailing a magic ship through countless adventures on the Eternal Sea, then moved to the assisted living center across town, where she was supposed to teach me the truth about the universe, the nature of reality, and how to control a magic ship if one ever just showed up some day… but she just forgot.” Pretty unlikely, right? Unfortunately, that’s exactly what was happening to Jenny.
“Jenny in a Bottle” is a middle-grade fantasy series filled with action, suspense, twists and turns, family, friends, fantastic new worlds, and some scary bits. If you’re into Percy Jackson, the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and Lemony Snicket, then Jenny in a Bottle is for you.
