"THIS BOOK IS SERIOUSLY FUNNY!!!" Phil Earle, author of Finn's Epic Fails.

Get ready to set sail on a hilarious new swashbuckling adventure series from bestselling and award-winning author, Jenny Pearson.

Wilbur doesn't believe he's destined to be a great pirate. He hates heights, gets seasick and is too scared to fire a cannon. But Wilbur, together with shipmates Ellie and Gilbert, is taking his Level One Pirate Grading. They're in a race to find the greatest treasure of all: one of the legendary Jewels of the Sea. How's he ever going to win?

With cursed treasure, rival crews, cannon-blasting battles and booby-trapped islands, danger is never far away. Can Wilbur survive the storm and become the pirate he's meant to be?

About the Author

Jenny Pearson has been awarded six mugs, one fridge magnet, one wall plaque and numerous cards for her role as Best Teacher in the World. When she is not busy being inspirational in the classroom, she would like nothing more than to relax with her two young boys, but she can't as they view her as a human climbing frame. Her debut novel, The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates, was short listed for the Costa Children's Book Award and selected as a Waterstones Book of the Month.
