A HILARIOUS PIRATE MISADVENTURE
The Blundering, Plundering Pirates' Plot is book 2 of the trilogy. It is an ideal shared, funny book for younger listeners and older independent readers. It's a beautifully illustrated story with ongoing visual jokes to search for on each page. It is easy to read with natural rhythms and rhyming words empowered with evocative and humorous illustrations. This will be a great gift to share the joys of reading with young pirate fans.

Mike was born in London and moved with his family to New Zealand when he was seven. He has always adored the sounds and rhythms of words and the delicious and powerful mental images that they can create.
He always wanted to share his love of words and with his often quirky humour, he realised that teaching was a great place to be. For 14 years Mike was lucky enough to be able to inspire reluctant readers to get joy from shared story times right through to working with gifted children to produce their own word fests.
His other great love is music, and Mike found huge pleasure in rhythms both in singing in a rock band and playing guitar. It therefore felt so natural for him to write in rhyming poetic form.
