Nine-year-old Roger is the most miserable landlubber alive. So when he sees a poster for a cabin boy to join the pirates, he jumps at the chance - or he would have if the pirates had not bagged him. The next thing Roger knows, he is on the Golden Behind surrounded by the dirtiest, smelliest, hairiest, scariest bunch of pirates the world has ever seen. But will they be a match for Roger's mum? This is a sequel to "Captain Abdul's Pirate School". Colin McNaughton's other books include "Have You Seen Who's Just Moved In Next Door To Us?"
