Jake Jellicoe and the Dread Pirate Redbeard [Kids]
Joanna Nadin

Description

Jake is so thin if he turned sideways he’d disappear! From a poor family who can’t feed him or themselves properly, Jake signs up as a cabin boy on a ship when the captain offers him part of any loot they find.  With twists, turns, jokes and lots of swashbuckling evil pirates this book is a riotous read with a smart, unlikely boy hero. Especially appealing to young boys who are starting to read fluently on their own. 

And what’s more, the author is coming to Mr B’s to launch our children’s reading hour! Keep a look out in next month’s newsletter for details!
