Product Description

Review
How was Jason to know what was in the bottle? He certainly didn't expect to be faced with a gibbering old pirate who could turn into a dog. Can the old man and his scruffy pals make it to Skegnes and get by Jason's Aunt Hester?

Product Description
He started to quiver. He started to quake. But it was all too late. Before he could think of running away a wispy stream of whitish dust came whistling out of the bottle bank...Jason Webberly was simply doing as his mum told him. How was he to know what was in That bottle? He certainly didn't expect to be faced with some gibbering old pirate who could turn into a dog! And a rude and unruly one at that. And without Jason's help he'd be deader than a double-eyed dogfish. Can these scruffy scamps make it to Skegness? What will happen when Scuttle and his riotous crew return to The Slippery Skeggle? And how will they get past crabby Aunt Hester? A riotous romp of a read from Carnegie-shortlisted author, Chris d'Lacey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sore voiced through piracy, 15 Jul 2002
By Mr. Andrew I. Love "terranova" (York UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book for my 9 year old daughter, and it fast became one of her favourites. This book is very, very funny. It has everything you could want: a charming and engaging hero, a mum who just doesn't understand, smelly pirates and a really nasty aunt, who may just be a three hundred year old witch. The tale is engagingly told, with all characters being richly drawn - even the stange chip shop owner, Mr Pop who has a humdinger of a surprise up his sleeve.

This is a great book for those of us who still enjoy reading to our children, but be warned - if you put your all into it you will be sore voiced through piracy!

Our favourite bit was the pirates getting on the bus - hilarious.

I'm ashamed that I'd not heard of Mr D'Lacey before, but rest assured, we will be seeking out some of his other stuff (and possibly some throat lozenges).

4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed it!, 7 Feb 2009
A Kid's Review
I thought it was fun because it had lots of funny words and the pirates, especially Skuttle, made me laugh a lot. I think other children will enjoy reading it too.
