William Kassenef: The Trick-Rigged Attic

By Patrick Durand-Peyroles

When Grandpa Joachim Kassenef asks his two grandchildren, William and Lisabeth, to help him tidy up the attic above the family house in La Rochelle, no one suspects that an incredible series of events is about to unfold.
William has been passionate about ships and everything related to the sea, navigation, travel, and exploration since he was very young. Grandpa Joachim himself is a former long-haul captain, and seafaring runs in the Kassenef family for generations.
Upon entering the attic, William notices a model of a three-masted ship on a shelf in the shadow of an old, forgotten wardrobe. Unknowingly, by touching the sailboat, William revives a family secret that his grandfather has kept from him.
He has touched the Trick-Rigged Vessel...
William and his younger sister, Lisabeth, and his friends or relatives, embark on adventures from the depths of the attic, encountering perilous pirate ships of all kinds, from frozen vessels to buccaneers and even family members, on the other side of the ocean.

This book includes three episodes of extraordinary journeys through manipulated worlds, where reality mixes with the unreal. The adventures span from La Rochelle in France to the great plains of Dakota, Long Island, and even a famous liner from 1912 that experiences a slightly eventful journey. But you'll have to wait to find out more! ... maybe later ?
