Gertie Swashbuckle is a pirate in the making. Captain Swashbuckle is, erm…. not.
When her fish-out-of-water parents inherit the family business – a pirate ship and its scallywag crew – young Gertie has to teach her wonderfully inept dad how to be Captain and save him from the plank in these wonderfully fun, stand-alone stories about teamwork and helping other people.
In THE HUNT FOR SHIVERY’S BOOTY, Gertie must help her dad find Shivery Timbers’ treasure before teatime or face the plank. Unfortunately, Captain Swashbuckle can’t read a map, steer a ship or dig for treasure (it hurts his back). Good luck, Gertie!
Suitable for family reading from ages 4 to 43 and reading alone from ages 6+
