the pirates! in an adventure with whaling — gideon defoe

4 stars

The pirates! have a prob­lem. Their boat is near col­laps­ing from their pre­vi­ous adven­ture and they want it to have it fixed. So Pirate Cap­tain decides to go to Cut­lass Liz, also known as the Butcher of Bar­ba­dos. She can’t res­cue the boat from sink­ing, but Pirate Cap­tain has an eye on another boat: the Lovely Emma. The boat under the boats. Except: he can’t afford it. Cut­lass Liz is will­ing to give the boat to him, but sets an ulti­ma­tum: when the hour­glass on the boat is empty and he hasn’t paid off the boat yet, he and his whole gang will be fish food. The deal is made and the search for money has begun. Will the pirates get the money on time? How will they try to get the money? What has whal­ing to do with anything?

A lot of humor in this book. Weird char­ac­ters (the pirates have no actual names), weird sit­u­a­tions and even more strange con­ver­sa­tions.
Into a quick, funny and easy read? Then give this book a try.
