Pirate Blunderbeard: Worst. Pirate. Ever., authored by Amy Sparkes, is a delightful children's book about a pirate named Blunderbeard who is, predictably, not the best at his swashbuckling trade. Unlucky and comically clumsy, he finds himself in all sorts of misadventures, trying to live up to his pirate legacy. Packed with humour and heart, this story navigates themes of self-discovery and resilience in a fun, kid-friendly way.

Mum is making me take part in the stupid Pirate of the Year Award. All I have to do is fight an enormous sea monster, (doom), beat my oh-so-brilliant brother at something (please please please) and find the legendary treasure that no one has ever found EVER in the history of EVER (easy peasy, then). Wish me luck! Pirate Blunderbeard.

Blunderbeard might be the worst pirate ever but he’s also the funniest – laugh-out-loud fun for young readers aged 7 and up.
