Fagan, Cary.

Jacob Two-Two on the high seas / Cary Fagan ; illustrated by Dušan Petričić. - Toronto : Tundra Books, c2009 - 102 p. : ill. ; 19 cm.

Fagan resurrects the late Mordecai Richler's most famous character for a new adventure released to accompany freshly illustrated editions of the three original episodes. After Jacob Two-Two's father writes a very important novel, the family makes plans to move to Canada. They board the SS "Spring-a-Leak" for a journey across the ocean, but something is wrong aboard ship. A series of clues -- a black eye patch; a parrot who squawks "Apple sauce in your underpants!"; and a sailing ship flying the Jolly Roger -- can only mean trouble. Will the intrepid Shapiro and the fearless O'Toole really be left on a desert island? Will Jacob Two-Two be made to walk the plank?
