The last book of Mould's Something Wickedly Weird series. Crampton Rock's self-appointed guardian Stanley Buggles and friend Daisy Grouse form the Secret Keepers-Alliance long with the Darkling children. They will need all their skills as Old MacDowell returns on a pirate ship intent on betraying them yet again, that is until he is bitten by the island's werewolf and needs to be locked up himself. The children try their own tricks, along with the help of the talking pike, to save the rock from being blown up for a bit of gold. Unlike the earlier books in the series this book can be read without the others, although the readers would enjoy the background the earlier books would provide.
4 or 5 stars - Recommended.
