Description
"Marmaduke Duck was a duck with pluck. He was bold, he was brave, he was Dare Devil Duck!" But when Marmaduke Duck trades sweet shop life for adventure on the wide blue seas, he gets more than he bargained for! The third book in the Marmaduke Duck series is a delightful dose of rollicking rhyme and ship-shape shenanigans by Juliette MacIver and Sarah Davis.
