Publisher's Synopsis
Anna, a woman with a voice that could rival a foghorn and a parrot named Cap'n who's mastered the art of salty language, runs Polly Wannacracker's, a burger joint nestled in the quirky coastal town of Apalachicola, Florida. Unbeknownst to her, she's the fifth generation of a line of pirate wives, clinging to 19th-century maritime customs in the 21st century. Her menu boasts "Groggy Gouda" burgers and "Sea Serpent Sliders," and her navigation system involves a sextant, not GPS. The shack itself is a chaotic blend of nautical decor, sandy floors, and a general air of delightful disarray, perfectly mirroring Anna's eccentric personality.
Polly Wannacracker's harbors a peculiar secret: its back door is a time portal, drawing in customers from across history. A Roman centurion, a flapper, a Viking, and a bewildered medieval peasant all find themselves stumbling into Anna's burger paradise, each bringing their own unique brand of cultural chaos. Anna, with her sharp wit and pirate-infused sarcasm, navigates the ensuing confusion, often adding fuel to the fire with her hilarious misunderstandings of modern technology and etiquette.
