Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Will Mabbitt's book is praised for its irreverent humour and imaginative storytelling, enhanced by Ross Collins' vibrant illustrations. It's described as delightfully chaotic and comically adventurous, reminiscent of The Mighty Boosh and Lemony Snicket, yet with a unique voice. Aimed at younger middle-grade readers, it combines wit and zaniness that entertains while sweeping readers into a piratical frenzy.
