Barnacle Garrick is bold and saucy and selfish. And for a pirate captain, that s good, very good. And his crew are all scurvy sea dogs selfish down to the last fleabitten scuttle-butt. And that s good too. But Augusta Garrick is shy, polite, and selfless. For a pirate, that s bad, very bad. Despite her father s horrible example, the sea pup can t stop helping out. It just might take one terrible storm, a ripped sail, a missing peg leg and a panicked crew before Augusta can prove that being selfless is a bold and saucy move after all. And that s good, very good indeed. A rollicking tale peppered with pirate talk, Kari-Lynn Winters Bad Pirate is a story about being true to yourself, even if it means you must go against the pack. Dean Griffiths artwork glows with rich colours, fine detail and spot-on doggie characters. A scurvy delight. For landlubbers, the endpaper design includes a glossary of pirate and sailing terms."
