Book Band: Purple (Ideal for ages 6+)

A thrilling pirate story ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.

The pirates Adam, Amy, and Ali are tired of their quiet life on Cutlass Island and wish that they could go and live in the exciting, big city. So when they spot a ship, they climb on board and hide in a hamper filled with costumes... and tutus! Soon they're on an adventure filled with sea monsters, ballet dancers, and a swindling pirate. Will they ever make it ashore?

This swashbuckling, adventure-filled tale from bestselling author Saviour Pirotta is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves and for Key Stage 1. It features engaging illustrations from Erica Salcedo and quirky characters young readers will find hard to resist.
