FOCUS (Kent) - Becca Pennicott
'What a refreshing change to come across a pirate book that is not aimed strictly at boys... an enjoyable read. The plot is packed with adventure and intrigue that children will find immediately engaging, and the vibrant colour illustrations on each page make this book a delight to explore.'
