ARRR! Captain Sneer and his hardy crew of pirates are in for adventure – and a big surprise – in this rollicking, rhyming treasure hunt.

Ahoy there, me hearties! Meet Captain Sneer – a most boastful buccaneer! He’s rough and tough. He’s brave and bold. He sails the seas in search of gold! But this is one pirate who is not ashamed to admit he needs his mum.

This rollicking, tongue-in-cheek rhyming story tells the tale of a boastful pirate who thinks he is rough and tough and brave and bold but, in true pantomime fashion, his crew – and the reader – know otherwise!
