The Pirates Next Door

Meet the Jolley-Rogers-a pirate family who’re moving to Dull-on-Sea, a quiet seaside town. Stopping to fix up their ship, this unusual family soon has the whole neighbourhood spreading rumours. Defying the grown-ups, Matilda from next door decides to become friends with the youngest pirate son. When the Jolley-Rogers leave, the town discovers they were wrong to assume the worst-the pirate clan have buried treasure in everyone’s gardens (shown in a stunning double-gatefold). Matilda feels sad until she discovers her own treasure-an incredibly exciting new pen friend.
