NEW RELEASE

The Man Whose Mother Was a Pirate

By Margaret Mahy About

Sam lives an ordinary life in a big city far away from the ocean with his mum. He wears an ordinary brown suit every day to his ordinary job in an ordinary office. But his mum is not ordinary at all – she is a pirate, and she wants to see the sea again.
Wonderfully fun and beautifully illustrated, this swashbuckling story about finding adventure and following your dreams is a timeless favourite.
