This book will keep you laughing!

The Mixed Up Pirate's Voyage is full of surprises that will delight you and keep you laughing. This book is about an uneducated bunch of teashop owners that dream of being pirates. One day, on an impulse, they break free of the bonds of boring, everyday life and set out on the open sea. This mismatched bunch of adventurous beverage sellers decide to kidnap the famous inventor, Humbert Cashcash, who lives in the thousand islands(on island 999, to be exact) The bumbling would-be-pirates have one misadventure after another as Mahy weaves a tale of mystery, hilarity, mixed identities and a giant jigsaw puzzle together to form a story that won't be soon forgotten.
