Pirates Deep

A sun‑soaked Mediterranean adventure where childhood ends and real life begins.

Zoe and Thomas expect nothing more than beaches and boat trips when they arrive in Ibiza with their mother Angie. But their holiday spirals into danger the moment Angie's boyfriend Bert turns up with a stolen rucksack and a trail of trouble behind him. As gangsters demand their gun back, the Spanish police close in, and the yacht is impounded, the grown‑ups begin to lose control - leaving the teenagers to face the unfolding chaos alone.

When the children rescue three refugees from a drifting raft, it feels like the right and decent thing to do. But their act of kindness pulls them deeper into a world of secrets, fear, and consequences far greater than they imagined. One of the rescued girls, educated and entangled in criminal networks, becomes the unexpected key to everything.

Meanwhile Nicola, impulsive and unpredictable, sets off a chain reaction of danger after grabbing a handgun during a scuffle in a Spanish café. As sirens close in and panic spreads, she runs - clutching the gun she never meant to keep - and turns to her friends on the yacht for help. But they may have even bigger problems of their own.

With the adults scattered, arrested, or overwhelmed, Zoe, Thomas, Nicola, and Pedro must navigate the high seas with courage, instinct, and the painful realisation that the grown‑ups are fighting their own battles too. What follows is a breathless journey of friendship, responsibility, and the moment every holiday turns from freedom to reality.

The story ends high above the clouds, with the plane climbing into the clear blue sky - and a quiet promise of what comes next.

Perfect for readers who love Mediterranean adventures, coming‑of‑age stories, and classic holiday thrillers.
