Product Description
One can’t just give up an imaginary pirate without seriously weird consequences.
In Book One of this two-part story, an endearing misfit embarks on an amazing adventure in search of his friend Scurvy Goonda, an outrageous invisible pirate with an insatiable love for bacon.
Part friendship story, part madcap adventure, readers who love stories in which almost-ordinary kids travel to fantastical lands and become heroes will revel in the imaginative landscape and characters featured in this original debut. While adventure-loving vegetarians will find much to savor, this is a must-read for all who love bacon—which plays a key role in the story’s sizzling climax!

What fun!
17 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Got this for my god daughter last week in the hope of turning her on to something other than harry potter and the like. This lead to scolding from her parents, because she stayed up the whole night reading the book. She not only loved it, but demanded a sequel. She of course begged me to read it and now I am hooked. Mccoy really is a great new writer who has woven a tale full of tremendous fun and whimsy. He has two huge fans in my god daughter and me. I chose well with this one. Please write another one quick!

Great new writer

McCoy is a fresh voice in literature. He has a tone and style that are distinctive and wrapped around an imaginative story. Let's hope he writes more, and for adults too.
Can't wait for more Scurvy

Format:Hardcover
I started reading Scurvy Goonda with my 10 year old, but found myself still reading long after he had gone to bed. Chris McCoy's book deserves to stand up with beloved children's books like Harry Potter and Fablehaven. His story is creative, the dialogue is clever and you can't help but fall in love with his characters -- even the villians are enchanting.
