Customer Reviews

Great little story!

I like books that appeal to boys, but are not so "dumbed down". This one has a clever plot and message, but still is about Pirates. My son (5) liked it a lot. Great illustrations too!

Captain and Matey Set Sail

I have 2 children, ages 8 and 6 and they both enjoyed the book very much. This book is very funny, easy to read and my children spent much of the time reading the book laughing. The book is brilliantly and cleverly written and the illustrations are very enjoyable for the children to look at. My children and I highly recommend this book.

Best work ever ...

My 8 year old son Juxhino adores this book. He hopes to meet the author in person if this is possible. He would love to get his book signed by Mr Laurence, as he had a teacher at his school in England with the same name, who inspired and intriqued him with his stories of pirates. He talked about it with his learning support teacher (who was much better looking than Mr Laurence!} His best friends Rufus, Stinky and Naylor (the Mother Superior), would also like to recommend this fantastic book.
