How Not To Be a Pirate: The Trouble with Monsters

Wilbur, Ellie, and Gilbert are back for another daring (and hilarious) high seas adventure, this time with monsters! Written by bestselling Laugh Out Loud Book Award winner Jenny Pearson and highly illustrated in two-colour by Paula Bowles, this is perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon. Wilbur's ready to set sail on his Pirate Grading, Level 2, but danger is afoot - there's a dark and mysterious force in the depths of the ocean, making crews disappear. Wilbur is sure Scagrim, the sea witch, is behind it. Wilbur has secretly got one of the Jewels of the Sea, and can control the wind and waves. Whoever has possession of all three Jewels will be unstoppable. Scagrim couldn't possibly be after him, could she? When Wilbur's dad, Captain Woodblack, and his crew go missing, Wilbur knows it's time for a rescue mission. But it's not just sea monsters he has to fight - he must battle his own fears too. It's time for Wilbur to be braver than ever and prove that he has what it takes to be captain.
