Ahoy there! Jim Lad and the Pirates Next Door return, in fully illustrated younger fiction stories.
Jonny Duddle (Author, Illustrator)
Jonny Duddle overheard the story of his first book The Pirate
Cruncher while sailing on a square-rigger. Since then he has
written even stranger tales including The Pirates of Scurvy
Sands,The Pirates Next Door, Gigantosaurus and The King of Space.
The Pirates Next Door won the Waterstones Prize in 2012 and was
shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.Now in danger of
becoming a landlubber, Jonny lives in Wales with his wife, Jane,
and their daughters, Daisy and Rosie.
Matilda, Jim Lad and the Jolley-Rogers family are back for another
swashbuckling adventure. This time the family is bewitched by a
magical haul of treasure and it's up to Matilda, thwarted by the
sea witches, to rescue them. Primary age kids will devour the
easy-to-read but intelligent tale, helped along by Duddle's
brilliant illustrations, which give the story real colour, despite
all being black and white.
