L'Île de Black Mór

In 1803, on the coast of Cornwall, Kid, a 15-year-old youth, escapes from the orphanage where he lived like a convict. Unaware of his real name, he has as his only treasure the map of an island containing the buried treasure of Black Mor, a famous pirate whom he'd like to resemble.

With two scavengers of shipwrecks, Mac Gregor and La Ficelle (literally, "The String"; figuratively, "Beanpole"), Kid grabs a Coast Guard boat and searches for the famous island at the other end of the Atlantic Ocean. But nothing happens as it does in pirates' books...

In his quest for his identity, Kid is more fragile than he thought that he'd be, and several adventures await him before he reaches the Island of Black Mor...
