Description
Billy and the Pirates by Nadia Shireen is here to whisk you away on Billy and Fatcat's third thrilling adventure, filled with pesky pirates and sticky toffee-eating sharks.
Join Billy and Fatcat as they embark on a noble seafaring adventure to escape Captain Howl. Along the way, they encounter singing mermaids and face perilous challenges.
Ahoy there! Set sail on the ocean blue with Billy and her trusty feline friend.
During their voyage, Billy and Fatcat find a mysterious message in a bottle. Suddenly, they bump into a pesky pirate and his smelly crew. Oh no!
But fear not! Our courageous twosome are no strangers to peril. They always have a trick (or treat) up their sleeves.
Nadia Shireen is back with this third instalment featuring our favourite heroine and her hangry cat.

About the Author
Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again. After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and in 2007 was accepted onto an MA course in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Her debut book Good Little Wolf received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She lives in London.
