Rezensionen
Shiver me timbers... those crazy pirates are in town and they're playing 'dirty' with a squeaky clean landlubber! Welcome back to another sparkling Jolley-Rogers adventure from Jonny Duddle, one of the most talented authors and illustrators currently working in the wonderful world of children's picture books. The Pirates of Scurvy Sands - a riot of colourful characters, exquisitely detailed illustrations and hilarious seafaring action - is the much-anticipated sequel to the Waterstones Award-winning The Pirates Next Door. And Duddle has certainly pushed the boat out for this fantastic pirate town adventure which brims with wit and wordplay, and will have both children and adults laughing all the way to the end of the plank! Matilda lives in the charming seaside town of Dull-on-Sea but this summer she has persuaded her mum and dad to let her join her pirate penfriend Jim Lad and the Jolley-Rogers for a holiday on the island of Scurvy Sands, a favourite holiday destination for pirates. When Matilda arrives, the swashbuckling residents are not too impressed with her. She has clean teeth, tidy clothes and she doesn't smell like she's been at sea for six months without washing. What's more, she can't read a compass and she doesn't know her East from West. Matilda, they say, is definitely no pirate. But when Matilda discovers the secret of the legendary treasure of Scurvy Sands, the pirates decide that maybe some landlubbers aren't so bad after all! With a fantastic treasure map at the end of the book, a stunning four-page fold-out, potty pirates aplenty, a feisty little heroine and a raucous rhyming story, this is a voyage of fun from sea launch to beach landing. A classic pirate adventure that will have kids scurrying to find their own scurvy sands! Pam Norfolk Lancashire Evening Post…mehr
