The Pirates Next Door

The Jolley-Rogers – a pirate family – are moving to Dull-on-Sea, a quiet seaside town. Stopping to fix up their ship, the family fall victim to many a rumour and much gossip. Defying the grown-ups, Matilda from next door decides to become friends with the youngest pirate son. When the Jolley-Rogers leave, the townsfolk discover 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.
